I searched the bugs database at freebsd.org for "signal 11" but didn't see anything about this error mentioned.

Installation aborts because of a signal 11. Program suggests enabling Debug output, but that doesn't seem to help much. The second virtual terminal shows several lines beginning with "DEBUG:" but the only errors reported are "rm: not found" (before probing for networking hardware) and "DEBUG: Signal 11 caught! That's bad!" immediately after gunzip'ing /stand/help/drives.hlp.gz, /stand/help/distributions.hlp.gz (which both return "status of 0"). Fix: No idea..... How-To-Repeat: I was able to repeat it multiple times. The steps I followed were: 1) Boot from floppy images cut from /floppies directory on CD. 2) Enter kernel configuration, full-screen mode and * under "Storage" disable all except floppy disk controller * disable all network support under "Network" * leave everything else alone 3) From /stand/sysinstall Main Menu, select Custom (4th option) 4) In "Options" * turn debugging on * turn DHCP on * set editor to /usr/bin/vi 5) In "Partition" delete any existing partitions, then select "Use Entire Disk" and leave the boot manager untouched on exit 6) In "Label" set up partitions as follows: * 1000M for / (add newfs option "-m 5" to existing options) * 768M for swap * 5000M for /var/mail (add newfs option "-m 0" to existing options) * remainder for /var/spool/mqueue (add newfs option "-m 0" to existing options) Save and return to previous menu. 7) In "Distributions" select "Custom" (option 8). Installation crashes.
