I have been trying for about 12 hrs to install FreeBSD. I keep getting 
signal 11. 

I am using IBM Thinkpad/760 with 3-Com 3c589 PCMCIA network card. I get 
to the ftp site just fine. After going thru the ftp download (which
takes about 2 hrs), I get the ftp site location screen again. I select
"Cancel" to get out, and I get the Signal 11 error and a reboot.
Everything is lost that was downloaded and I have to start again. 

If I select "OK" at the menu, I get connected to the ftp site and I
start the download again. How do I get past the ftp download?  

I have turned on debugging for this, my 4th attempt, to see what is
happening. 

Because of the extremely slow download times, I would like to load from
an NFS server I have here, but what data sets do I download to my
server? I want to build my machine to a "user" level.

Many thanks for the help.
