See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#= SIGNAL11 Yes -- I know that your system died with Signal 12 and that question is talking about Signal 11, but it is applicable. Suspect your hardware first. Do what you can to rule out hardware problems before you do anything else. You might want to try booting the install media in the 'No ACPI' mode. If you're trying to install on a multi-processor nForce2 board, you might need to disable apic and smp as well -- see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-March/024070.ht= ml What ever you do, aim to upgrade to 5.2.1-RELEASE-pN as soon as possible: 5.2 had some nasty bugs, which is why 5.2.1 was released.
