The 3.4-RELEASE has a problem in the install program that seems to 
cause signal 11s.  There are a few ways to get around it, but the 
most straightforward is probably to download the fixed MFSROOT 
floppy image from 
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.4-RELEASE/floppies/updates/
and do the installation from it (along with the existing KERN floppy).

You should also read the on-line errata for the release at 
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.4-RELEASE/ERRATA.TXT

If you don't want to re-install, I guess you will need to CVSUP the 
-STABLE source and rebuild your system, or perhaps you could simply 
copy /stand/sysinstall from the good MFSROOT floppy.
