The above message is a "novelty" from the new patchkit, and it means that
the "wd" driver tried to find an MFM, RLL, IDE, ESDI drive and didn't find one,
neither for the first nor second disk.
If you have an SCSI disk or an CDROM with a proper filesystem, you can
ignore this message. No panic!
But if you do have a non SCSI hard disk, you are in real trouble now.
The message is not related to the existance of any other partition on the disk.
