I found it in my copy of Warp Unleashed Deluxe Edition on page 
46:

ROM BIOS Problems:

        If you see either a SYS2025 or SYS2027 error message and 
        your computer has an AMI BIOS, check the BIOS date.  In 
        general, the BIOS should have been manufactured in 1990 
        or later [...]

I found a little on this problem in the "User's Guide to OS/2 
Warp [v3]" in Chapter 19 (Troubleshooting), starting on page 315 
in my manual.
