I just installed 1.1 on a similar box and got the same message.

What I did next was to start it up in single user mode, then halted the
system, shut off the machine, restarted the Mac and then booted again, only
in multi-user mode.  It then started up fine after that.  Don't know why,
but give it a try.

My trouble *now* is that it boots in multi-user, starts up various daemons
and then hangs on starting up the named daemon.  I don't have a network
link but I do have a Sonic ethernet card installed (which, I believe, is
not supported).  Since the named daemon would depend on a network
connection (it would, wouldn't it?) could this hang be caused by the
unsupported ethernet card?

BTW- hardware is SE/30 with 8 megs, Sonic ethernet card, 105 Quantum
