86: <font color="#009000"><strong>CD RELEASE WORKAROUND</strong></font>
87: <i>All architectures</i><br>
88: One of the install scripts has a flaw that makes the CD-ROM mount fail
89: when using the CD-ROM as the install source media.
90: To workaround this use the following sequence of commands before
91: starting the install script. This must be done each time the install
92: kernel is booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM
93: is the media to install from. Do the following at the shell prompt:
1.1 deraadt 94: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.sub
95: /{_filesystem/s//{_fstype/
96: wq
97: <b>#</b>
98: </pre>
99: For architectures where the install scripts start automatically
100: (like amiga), you need to abort it at the (I)nstall or (U)pdate
101: prompt by pressing Ctrl-C before doing the above command. After
102: that you can restart the install by:
103: <pre><b>#</b> install
104: </pre>

106: <li>
107: <font color="#009000"><strong>CD RELEASE WORKAROUND</strong></font>
108: <i>alpha only</i><br>
109: CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
110: must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly
111: harder..
112: <p>
113: <li>
114: <font color="#009000"><strong>BOOT BLOCK BUG</strong></font>
115: <i>i386 only</i><br>
116: Some rarer PC BIOSs do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
1.1 deraadt 117: as a MBR. The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
118: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
119: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
120: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
121: non-zero offset. For instance, start OpenBSD at next track boundary or so.
1.61 deraadt 122: <p>
123: <li>
124: <font color="#009000"><strong>WRONG CHECKSUMS</strong></font>
125: <i>i386 only</i><br>
126: The i386/X11/SUMS.md5 file contains 4 incorrect MD5 checksums.
1.1 deraadt 127: These have been corrected on the ftp mirrors. The correct lines are:<br>
128: MD5 (X33doc.tgz) = 6aa0be7987f9a3cf32a63b5ea9a83b39<br>
129: MD5 (X33html.tgz) = 6ba39d41aef7c75c35a0533275c6f8c0<br>
130: MD5 (X33ps.tgz) = ea49fc1b12c17fc16ece7d0e4ad4ee06<br>
131: MD5 (RELNOTES) = 689fda20596a4eb82f86ded51efb01f4<br>
1.61 deraadt 132: <p>
133: A lot of people with IDE disk drives fail to read the
1.1 deraadt 134: INSTALL.i386 document, and hence end up with geometry translation
135: problems. Read the document, please.
1.61 deraadt 136: <p>
137: <li>
138: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
139: <i>amiga only</i><br>
140: The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering
141: multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt. This is due to
142: a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script. To fix, enter single
143: user mode and do:
1.1 deraadt 144: <pre><b>#</b> cd /dev
145: <b>#</b> sh MAKEDEV ttye6
146: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 147: <p>
148: <li>
149: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
150: <i>sparc only</i><br>
151: The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is
152: to X11R6.3's default config file contents. To fix, su and
153: type:
1.1 deraadt 154: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr
155: <b>#</b> ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3
156: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 157: <p>
158: <li>
159: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
160: <i>sparc only</i><br>
161: The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify
162: "dumb" in response to the terminal type query. As a work-around
163: first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted
164: again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.
165: <p>
166: <li>
167: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
168: <i>sparc only</i><br>
169: When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
170: may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
171: to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks. If this occurs
172: create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
1.1 deraadt 173: <pre><b>#</b> cd /tftpboot
174: <b>#</b> dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync
175: <b>#</b> mv newboot boot
176: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 177: <p>
178: <li>
179: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
180: <i>sparc only</i><br>
181: The sparc install script has two flaws that make the kernel copy
182: and the bootblock install fail. The kernel copy only fails
183: then installing from CD-ROM. To workaround this use the
184: following sequence of commands before starting the install
185: script. This must be done each time the install kernel is
186: booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM is
187: the media to install from. Do the following at the shell
188: prompt:
189: <p>
190: If you install from CD-ROM do the following:
1.56 deraadt 191: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
192: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd/
193: wq
1.1 deraadt 194: <b>#</b>
195: </pre>
196: ... or if you plan to use the bsd.scsi3 kernel you should use instead:
1.56 deraadt 197: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
198: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd.scsi3/
199: wq
1.1 deraadt 200: <b>#</b>
201: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 202: <p>
203: The following one you'll have to do always (not only then
204: installing from CD-ROM)
1.56 deraadt 205: <pre><b>#</b> ed /usr/mdec/binstall
206: /getopt/,/getopt/+4d
207: wq
1.1 deraadt 208: <b>#</b>
209: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 210: <p>
211: <li>
212: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
213: <i>pmax only</i><br>
214: When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
1.1 deraadt 215: errors like:
216: <pre><b>#</b> mkfontdir
217: mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
218: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
219: </pre>
220: this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
221: the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
222: OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
1.16 miod 223: version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. Once you have the
224: OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1, do the following:
1.1 deraadt 225: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr/lib
226: <b>#</b> mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
227: <b>#</b> cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
228: <b>#</b> chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
229: <b>#</b> chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
230: </pre>
231: Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
232: sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
233: after the next reboot if everything is working fine.
234: <p>
1.61 deraadt 235: <li>
236: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
237: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
238: The installer generates incorrect /etc/fstab files causing messages such
239: as "file system read-only" on bootup. To correct, boot to single-user
240: mode (by clicking that checkbox in the Booter's Booting:Options dialog)
241: and do the following:
1.1 deraadt 242: <pre>
243: <b>#</b> mount /dev/sd0a /
244: <b>#</b> ed /etc/fstab
245: 1,$s/ ufs / ffs /
246: 1,$s/ ro / rw /
247: w
248: q
249: </pre>
1.56 deraadt 250: Alternately, simply invoke vi or another editor and change the root filesystem
1.1 deraadt 251: to be of type ffs rather than ufs and be rw (read-write) rather than ro
252: (read-only). In either case, you'll need to reboot the system afterwards.
253: Make this correction as soon as possible after installing the system.
254: The installer should not have specified the filesystem as the old
255: "ufs" type; the "ffs" type is more correct.
1.61 deraadt 256: <p>
257: <li>
258: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
259: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
260: The installer forgets to install the kernel onto the filesystem.
1.56 deraadt 261: This is because the installer expects all packages including the kernel to
1.1 deraadt 262: be tar'ed and gzip'ed. The kernel was not shipped that way. Therefore, you
263: must make this correction <em>before attempting to boot the system</em>.
264: To correct, use the Installer mini-shell and do the following:
265: <pre>
266: > cpin :[internal-macos-path]:bsd-generic bsd
267: </pre>
268: This should place the kernel as /bsd on the filesystem. You should
269: replace the above string with the colon-delimited path from your desktop to
270: wherever you have placed the kernel. If possible, it is easiest to drag the
271: kernel into the same folder as the Installer, so you can simply issue a
272: command without leading colon(s) like:
273: <pre>
274: > cpin bsd-generic bsd
275: </pre>
