There was a bug in the installer in 3.4 that had this problem if you chose
custom install...I dont think it was in 3.3 though...if you are chossing
the custom install pick something else instead and see if that works
around the problem. You can FTP new disk images from the ftp site if need
be.

If its not the above try getting brand new floppies and writing out the
disk images again...seems to solve 60% of peoples problems.

sig11 is oftena n indication of hardware failure (bad RAM or cache etc)
but hopefully not in this case.
