Windows 3.11's install disks aren't bootable. You'll have to boot in DOS, then put the floppy, then browse to it ("A:"<enter>, without quotes) then start the installation and follow the instructions on the screen ("setup"<enter>)

Dont Panic My Friend. Dont (FREAK OUT!). For A clean installation on Windows 3.1 First go to bootdisk.com. Download the MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk .exe file. Run it and make the bootable floppy. Put the bootable floppy in the laptop. When you get to C:\> take the bootable floppy out Put in Windows 3.1 Setup Disk 1. type a:setup There you go hope it helps "Even If Its Old Its Still A Good Computer"
