Everyone seemed to agree that the problem was caused by an old disk label,
probably on the CD. The odd thing is that the CDrom drive is rz5 and that
there isn't an rz3 on the system. Go figure.
To make the message go away, I mounted the DEC Unix documentation CD, left
it mounted for more than 10 minutes, and unmounted it. Duh! The messages
are gone. This probably confirms that it was the CD.
IMHO, my guess is that this is a bug somewhere.
Bruce.
