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

105: <font color="#009000"><strong>CD RELEASE WORKAROUND</strong></font>
106: <i>alpha only</i><br>
107: CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
108: must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly
109: harder..
110: <p>
111: <li>
112: <font color="#009000"><strong>BOOT BLOCK BUG</strong></font>
113: <i>i386 only</i><br>
114: Some rarer PC BIOSs do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
1.1 deraadt 115: as a MBR. The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
116: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
117: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
118: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
119: non-zero offset. For instance, start OpenBSD at next track boundary or so.
1.61 deraadt 120: <p>
121: <li>
122: <font color="#009000"><strong>WRONG CHECKSUMS</strong></font>
123: <i>i386 only</i><br>
124: The i386/X11/SUMS.md5 file contains 4 incorrect MD5 checksums.
1.1 deraadt 125: These have been corrected on the ftp mirrors. The correct lines are:<br>
126: MD5 (X33doc.tgz) = 6aa0be7987f9a3cf32a63b5ea9a83b39<br>
127: MD5 (X33html.tgz) = 6ba39d41aef7c75c35a0533275c6f8c0<br>
128: MD5 (X33ps.tgz) = ea49fc1b12c17fc16ece7d0e4ad4ee06<br>
129: MD5 (RELNOTES) = 689fda20596a4eb82f86ded51efb01f4<br>
1.61 deraadt 130: <p>
131: A lot of people with IDE disk drives fail to read the
1.1 deraadt 132: INSTALL.i386 document, and hence end up with geometry translation
133: problems. Read the document, please.
1.61 deraadt 134: <p>
135: <li>
136: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
137: <i>amiga only</i><br>
138: The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering
139: multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt. This is due to
140: a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script. To fix, enter single
141: user mode and do:
1.1 deraadt 142: <pre><b>#</b> cd /dev
143: <b>#</b> sh MAKEDEV ttye6
144: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 145: <p>
146: <li>
147: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
148: <i>sparc only</i><br>
149: The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is
150: to X11R6.3's default config file contents. To fix, su and
151: type:
1.1 deraadt 152: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr
153: <b>#</b> ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3
154: </pre>

156: <li>
157: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
158: <i>sparc only</i><br>
159: The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify
160: "dumb" in response to the terminal type query. As a work-around
161: first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted
162: again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.
163: <p>
164: <li>
165: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
166: <i>sparc only</i><br>
167: When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
168: may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
169: to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks. If this occurs
170: create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
1.1 deraadt 171: <pre><b>#</b> cd /tftpboot
172: <b>#</b> dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync
173: <b>#</b> mv newboot boot
174: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 175: <p>
176: <li>
177: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
178: <i>sparc only</i><br>
179: The sparc install script has two flaws that make the kernel copy
180: and the bootblock install fail. The kernel copy only fails
181: then installing from CD-ROM. To workaround this use the
182: following sequence of commands before starting the install
183: script. This must be done each time the install kernel is
184: booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM is
185: the media to install from. Do the following at the shell
186: prompt:
187: <p>
188: If you install from CD-ROM do the following:
1.56 deraadt 189: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
190: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd/
191: wq
1.1 deraadt 192: <b>#</b>
193: </pre>
194: ... or if you plan to use the bsd.scsi3 kernel you should use instead:
1.56 deraadt 195: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
196: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd.scsi3/
197: wq
1.1 deraadt 198: <b>#</b>
199: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 200: <p>
201: The following one you'll have to do always (not only then
202: installing from CD-ROM)
1.56 deraadt 203: <pre><b>#</b> ed /usr/mdec/binstall
204: /getopt/,/getopt/+4d
205: wq
1.1 deraadt 206: <b>#</b>
207: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 208: <p>
209: <li>
210: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
211: <i>pmax only</i><br>
212: When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
1.1 deraadt 213: errors like:
214: <pre><b>#</b> mkfontdir
215: mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
216: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
217: </pre>
218: this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
219: the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
220: OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
1.16 miod 221: version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. Once you have the
222: OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1, do the following:
1.1 deraadt 223: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr/lib
224: <b>#</b> mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
225: <b>#</b> cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
226: <b>#</b> chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
227: <b>#</b> chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
228: </pre>
229: Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
230: sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
231: after the next reboot if everything is working fine.

234: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
235: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
236: The installer generates incorrect /etc/fstab files causing messages such
237: as "file system read-only" on bootup. To correct, boot to single-user
238: mode (by clicking that checkbox in the Booter's Booting:Options dialog)
239: and do the following:
1.1 deraadt 240: <pre>
241: <b>#</b> mount /dev/sd0a /
242: <b>#</b> ed /etc/fstab
243: 1,$s/ ufs / ffs /
244: 1,$s/ ro / rw /
245: w
246: q
247: </pre>
1.56 deraadt 248: Alternately, simply invoke vi or another editor and change the root filesystem
1.1 deraadt 249: to be of type ffs rather than ufs and be rw (read-write) rather than ro
250: (read-only). In either case, you'll need to reboot the system afterwards.
251: Make this correction as soon as possible after installing the system.
252: The installer should not have specified the filesystem as the old
253: "ufs" type; the "ffs" type is more correct.
1.61 deraadt 254: <p>
255: <li>
256: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
257: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
258: The installer forgets to install the kernel onto the filesystem.
1.56 deraadt 259: This is because the installer expects all packages including the kernel to
1.1 deraadt 260: be tar'ed and gzip'ed. The kernel was not shipped that way. Therefore, you
261: must make this correction <em>before attempting to boot the system</em>.
262: To correct, use the Installer mini-shell and do the following:
263: <pre>
264: > cpin :[internal-macos-path]:bsd-generic bsd
265: </pre>
266: This should place the kernel as /bsd on the filesystem. You should
267: replace the above string with the colon-delimited path from your desktop to
268: wherever you have placed the kernel. If possible, it is easiest to drag the
269: kernel into the same folder as the Installer, so you can simply issue a
270: command without leading colon(s) like:
271: <pre>
272: > cpin bsd-generic bsd
273: </pre>
