It looks like the message has gone, so you've got the right one,

Not for your use case (i.e. getting a basic domU running).

There is no need, but it is harmless enough to do so.

This wasn't necessary. The warning is benign.

What does your disk stanza look like? Currently only "phy" type ones are
supported on ARM. It looks like you are using something wihch wants to

Something is very wrong/corrupted with your root filesystem and or the
device underlying it.
