1.82 deraadt 90: <strong>001: CD RELEASE WORKAROUND</strong>
1.61 deraadt 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

1.61 deraadt 113: <i>alpha only</i><br>
114: CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
115: must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly
116: harder..

1.82 deraadt 120: <strong>003: BOOT BLOCK BUG</strong>
1.61 deraadt 121: <i>i386 only</i><br>
122: Some rarer PC BIOSs do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
1.1 deraadt 123: as a MBR. The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
124: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
125: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
126: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
127: non-zero offset. For instance, start OpenBSD at next track boundary or so.

1.82 deraadt 131: <strong>004: WRONG CHECKSUMS</strong>
1.61 deraadt 132: <i>i386 only</i><br>
133: The i386/X11/SUMS.md5 file contains 4 incorrect MD5 checksums.
1.1 deraadt 134: These have been corrected on the ftp mirrors. The correct lines are:<br>
135: MD5 (X33doc.tgz) = 6aa0be7987f9a3cf32a63b5ea9a83b39<br>
136: MD5 (X33html.tgz) = 6ba39d41aef7c75c35a0533275c6f8c0<br>

1.61 deraadt 147: <i>amiga only</i><br>
148: The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering
149: multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt. This is due to
150: a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script. To fix, enter single

172: "dumb" in response to the terminal type query. As a work-around
173: first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted

180: When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
181: may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
182: to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks. If this occurs
183: create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
1.1 deraadt 184: <pre><b>#</b> cd /tftpboot

191: <strong>009: RELEASE BUG</strong>
1.61 deraadt 192: <i>sparc only</i><br>
193: The sparc install script has two flaws that make the kernel copy
194: and the bootblock install fail. The kernel copy only fails
195: then installing from CD-ROM. To workaround this use the
196: following sequence of commands before starting the install
197: script. This must be done each time the install kernel is
198: booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM is
199: the media to install from. Do the following at the shell
200: prompt:
201: <p>
202: If you install from CD-ROM do the following:
1.56 deraadt 203: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md

205: wq
1.1 deraadt 206: <b>#</b>

225: <strong>010: RELEASE BUG</strong>
1.61 deraadt 226: <i>pmax only</i><br>
227: When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
1.1 deraadt 228: errors like:
229: <pre><b>#</b> mkfontdir
230: mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
231: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
232: </pre>
233: this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
234: the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
235: OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
1.16 miod 236: version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. Once you have the
237: OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1, do the following:
1.1 deraadt 238: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr/lib
239: <b>#</b> mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
240: <b>#</b> cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
241: <b>#</b> chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
242: <b>#</b> chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
243: </pre>
244: Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
245: sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
246: after the next reboot if everything is working fine.

250: <strong>011: RELEASE BUG</strong>
1.61 deraadt 251: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
252: The installer generates incorrect /etc/fstab files causing messages such
253: as "file system read-only" on bootup. To correct, boot to single-user
254: mode (by clicking that checkbox in the Booter's Booting:Options dialog)
255: and do the following:
1.1 deraadt 256: <pre>
257: <b>#</b> mount /dev/sd0a /
258: <b>#</b> ed /etc/fstab
259: 1,$s/ ufs / ffs /
260: 1,$s/ ro / rw /
261: w
262: q
263: </pre>
1.56 deraadt 264: Alternately, simply invoke vi or another editor and change the root filesystem
1.1 deraadt 265: to be of type ffs rather than ufs and be rw (read-write) rather than ro
266: (read-only). In either case, you'll need to reboot the system afterwards.
267: Make this correction as soon as possible after installing the system.
268: The installer should not have specified the filesystem as the old
269: "ufs" type; the "ffs" type is more correct.

273: <strong>012: RELEASE BUG</strong>
1.61 deraadt 274: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
275: The installer forgets to install the kernel onto the filesystem.
1.56 deraadt 276: This is because the installer expects all packages including the kernel to
1.1 deraadt 277: be tar'ed and gzip'ed. The kernel was not shipped that way. Therefore, you
278: must make this correction <em>before attempting to boot the system</em>.
279: To correct, use the Installer mini-shell and do the following:
280: <pre>
281: > cpin :[internal-macos-path]:bsd-generic bsd
282: </pre>
283: This should place the kernel as /bsd on the filesystem. You should
284: replace the above string with the colon-delimited path from your desktop to
285: wherever you have placed the kernel. If possible, it is easiest to drag the
286: kernel into the same folder as the Installer, so you can simply issue a
287: command without leading colon(s) like:
288: <pre>
289: > cpin bsd-generic bsd
