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

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