  The warnings come whenever the kernel reads the disklabel.  The amiga
doesn't use a real on-disk disklabel.  It creates the in-memory disklabel
from information in the RDB partition blocks.  The warning message
occurs during that process.  Any time you run disklabel on the disk,
you will get those messages.
