that occurs at the beginning of boot, and appeared suddenly after I
connected up the SATA drive.
I ignored it and there seemed to be no effect.
I tried the tab key and nothing happened - it was if I ignored
it.

Something to do with SATA and RAID. I googled for your phrase and got this
set of links...

Often when a message like that pops up after adding a drive
you just need to go into the bios, check the config, and
save it. If you have a separate raid bios for your SATA
controller then it would be the RAID bios menu you enter
instead of the main bios (using different keystroke which
seems to be the case here since it wants TAB key instead of
DEL or an F1/F(n) key).
