No, it means the process tried to use rfork() with an entirely shared process address space. This is not supported under SMP in 3.x and isn't particularly likely to be with 4.x around the corner.

Firstly I attached there disk with FreeBSD 3.3, which earlier worked on old PPro, and everything went fine with one-CPU kernel, -- all disks worked (and some narrow ones connected with another Adaptec 2940 adapter also). Then I tried to compile SMP kernel for this machine (see config below), but it refused to load (see error message below). Then I tried to install 3.4. Strange things: when disk (IBM 18LZX 9.1 Gb) is connected to the adapter, rather long pause (about a minute) occurs before something begins to load from boot diskettes. When disk is not connected (bus is free), installer begins to boot normally. But in both cases, after the message `Waiting 15 sec for SCSI devices to settle', everything stop, only error messages are issued. The same with 3.3 installation. I saw considerable amount of threads dedicated to close subjects, but, unfortunately, have not found any answer that clarify the situation. Similar systems sometimes work, but are unstable (e.g., as in message Pine.BSF.4.10.9908171543470.45414-100000@caxton.correionet.com.br), Some systems do not... Maybe, kernel SMP options must be set to specific values? But I do not know what any of them means, except of `number of CPUs'. Where could I find more detailed explanation (LINT is too brief)? How do these parameters named in motherboard specification? Would be grateful for any help. I would neither like to migrate to another UNIX, nor to get hardware back, -- in FreeBSD `Releas notes' is written, that AIC789x onboard adapters are supported...

Check your termination, cables, connectors, BIOS settings, etc. Newer adaptec SCSI cards seem to take ages to do the automatic termination checking. Make sure it's turned off in the SCSI card's bios.
