Apt will not trust your signature until you add your public key to apt's
keyring with the "apt-key add" command. I have no idea if you can easily
do this during installation, though. You can try to switch to another VT
and run the command.

Does "my mirror" mean that you have set it up yourself? In that case you
cant try to add the Release and the Release.gpg file from one of the
official mirrors. If this mirror is controlled by somebody else and it
does not have a valid signature on its Release file then I would not
install anything at all from that mirror.
