Signal definitions are generally under the signal.h file. Signal 11 is a
segmentation fault (page fault). I wish I was at my BSD box so I could tell
you the exact directory. On our AIX host here at work it's under :
/src/bos/kernel/sys/signal.h
Did you allot enough paging space on the swap partition? How much RAM do
you have? Usually segfaults result when the OS (or an application therein)
tries to access an area of memory that is already allocated. Whether stack,
heap, or virtual. So check those two elements and you'll be looking in the
right direction.

I, not long ago, tried to upgrade from 3.3FreeBSD to 3.4FreeBSD; I put
myself in a position such that I would have to do a complete reinstall,
so I thought that I may as well upgrade.
As a brief background, there is no other operating system on this
computer and my original FBSD installation used the default file system
layout; by the time I learned that a / filesystem of 40 meg is too
small, I was getting overflow messages that I couldn't (with my level of
experience) get rid of. Simply killing processes didn't work, hence
the need to reinstall.
I installed from the 3.4 CD set. The first time I installed, I created
a 80 meg / file system (on a 4.2 gig disk), decided that even that might
not take into account future upgrades, so... another install. This
generated a 'signal 11' When I checked the log, I only found the rather
useless message, 'signal 11, that's bad'.
Sad to say, I've gone back to Linux (hopefully temporarily).
Since there is no other OS on this system, I am at a loss. What's a
signal 11? What went wrong? How can I proceed from here? Should I
remake the 2 install disks?
On a related subject, 3.4 to 4.0 is a big jump; Is the move to 4.0
worth it for essentially a single user? My major concern is stability;
what is the current 'stable' version? My LAN has only 3 machines; I work
back and forth between them.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this,
Richard
