 >> Fix:
 
 The odds are fairly high that you have faulty hardware on your mainboard.
 If signal 11's tend to happen at pseudo-random times during the installation
 process there are strong odds you have a piece of ailing hardware.
 
 All the signal 11 problems I've ever had have stemmed from bad RAM.
 Although I've heard that other hardware failures will also cause them (such
 as a bad motherboard).
 
 I hope this helps you resolve your probelm.

 p.s. apologies for posting twice to freebsd-bugs, this is your punishment

 See http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.4R/errata.html for a description of
 this problem, and two workarounds.
