The two messages are harmless and they are always present when you update.
The first, as Bob said , is a complaint by Solaris that by disabling the swap,
you are left with no dump device. We get this message everytime we do the update.
The second means that by giving mb sizes, instead of cylinders, we waist some
cylinder in the arithmetic. This happens everynow and then... If I have time I
may try to improve on it.
