I think this error is generated because you're putting the boot device
on the third IDE drive (hdc). Older BIOSs could only boot from the first
2, so this warning is telling you that if you have an old BIOS then you
won't be able to boot this image. If you have a new BIOS then you can
safely ignore the warning.
