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

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