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

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