Are there any extant 2.11 manuals other than the online manual and various install and
configure PDFs, available for download?
Also, am I understanding correctly that 2.11 is 2.10 plus some 4.3 backports and a ton of
patches? If there aren’t any 2.11 specific docs, what would be the closest of what is
available?

BSD2.11 as released was BSD2.10 with even more 4.3 backports (though that
process started before 2.10 was released).
BSD2.11-pl473 has a lot that's not been summarized. Release notes /
installation guides have been updated as things like disk labels were
added. But I've not seen any comprehensive summary of the patches. I should
spend some time putting something together that summarizes things (rather
than the tick-tock of each patch, some of which fix very niche bugs, others
which add an ANSI-C compiler). There's also a few bugs that were fixed that
didn't get proper patches that you can detect with careful diffing, at
least in the early days...
https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/UCB/2.11BSD/ has the latest,
nearly canonical version of 2.11BSD.
