Yes, I found 2 ways to get the problem away.
1) Make the DOS partitiob smaller.
2) Keep the DOS partition as it is now (in my case, 280mb) and use
true OS/2 or DOS fdisk and format to re-partition and format to
go over again to the DOS partition, you don't even have to change
the size.
I tried these 2 ways, all work, the BSD warning disppears.
