A couple of small items got carried over from the Sun alpha release
announcement into the SGI announcement by mistake.

The update will take much longer than five minutes, as noted earlier
on in the announcement, and it is unnecessary to issue a shutdown
command, since the SGI release includes an operating system update.
(You will be given a chance to take a look around after the second
reboot, but you just need to exit the shell when you're done, not
explicitly reboot.)

Sorry about that.
