>Environment:
Not available.  Hardware is a Pentium III (500MHz) w/ 512MB RAM, 9GB U2W
SCSI, Adaptec 7896 controller, and Intel EtherExpress (fxp0).
>Description:
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").
>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.

 Sorry.  I searched the bugs database at freebsd.org for "signal 11" but
 didn't see anything about this error mentioned.
 
 Will be more hesitant to submit bug reports in the future.....
