I have a customer whose BSDI 3.0 system gives this error on boot.
Everything seems to work fine. WD1 and a slice from WD0 are spliced
together.

Does anyone know how to fix this besides reformatting? Is it something that
will turn into a bigger problem or can we limp along with this error until
a more appropriate time to reformat?
