Warning Messages
A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to respond before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a diskette drive, a message warns you that you may lose all data on the diskette drive. Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond by typing y (yes) or n (no).
NOTE: Warning messages are generated by either the application or the operating system. For more information, see the documentation that accompanied the application or operating system.
Diagnostics Messages
The system diagnostic utilities may issue messages if you run diagnostic tests on your system. See "Running the Embedded System Diagnostics" on page 148 for more information about system diagnostics.
