The message just says that the kernel suport for NCR* is compiled in (not
in module). So, unless you recompile the kernel without the NCR* support,
you'd get the message again and again. This is quite normal, the rescue
disk should support certain disk controllers and NICs (and other add-on
cards), so that during the installation, the kernel would detect all
(plausible) machine configurations.
Consider all those messages you don't like as a challenge; the question
is, how to get rid all of those. It's good that you don't like them,
because unused code would stay on memory filling things up; having a
kernel that really suits your system would mean that your system is well
tuned-up, IMHO. BTW, to conquer the challenge begins with: "make
menuconfig" (done in /usr/src/linux).
