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

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