You should have read the ERRATA.TXT file on ftp.freebsd.org... See below.
---- System Update Information:
o As shipped, the "Custom" installation option in 3.4 is broken
and menu items like Configure don't work.
Fix: Both the "Novice" and "Express" install paths still work and
can be used just as effectively (if not succinctly). Alternately,
you can invoke the custom installation from the "Index" menu
(Installation, Custom) along with the Configuration option. You
can also download a fixed mfsroot.flp floppy image (or boot.flp
if you need 2.88MB boot media) from the following URL:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.4-RELEASE/floppies/updates/
The 3.4 ISO installation image is also updated to contain fixes
for all these errata items.

I boot the computer with the installation CD, make the proper hardware configuration, make the FreeBSD slice and necessary labels... but when I try to make a custom installation the system immediately hangs with a message "Caught a signal 11, I'm trying to save everything and shutting down... etc etc", and the installation fails.
