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.
