READ THE ERROR MESSAGE PROPERLY.
It says "The device-mapper init script is written for baselayout-2.
Please do not use it with baselayout-1."
What does that mean? It means that you are not using baselayout-2, you
are using baselayout-1, and you are also using the device-mapper init
script which doesn't work right with baselayout-1.
As it turns out, the init-script in this case just exists in this
condition, so you could ignore it. To make the message go away, remove
device-mapper from your runlevel:
sudo rc-update del device-mapper default
