Either ignore it or mark the partition bootable if you want the warning
to go away. It's just telling you that you won't be able to boot DOS off
that disk, but a) you're probably not going to be installing DOS on the
system, b) DOS won't boot off the second disk and c) I could be wrong,
but I don't think DOS will boot off a SCSI drive anyhow. So it really
doesn't matter.
