Update PROM? Huh?

Gurus,
 
Recently I posted a summary in reference to cloning my boot disks. I have
just completed the cloning using David Glass's technique (mounting
filesystems and using cpio), installed the boot-block and to test, restarted
the system on the new clone.
 
I have two immediate issues on boot:
 
1) I get a "swap: getexecname() failed". I'm pretty sure this has to do
with a messed up vfstab. I'll have to look at it, AFTER I get by problem
#2...
 
2) The system is asking me, if I want to update my PROM. It's also
spouting of saying that if I don't, I won't be able to run 64-bit apps,
although my 32-bit apps will run fine. This is the first time I've seen
this. Originally, this E450 was a 2.6 installation that I've upgraded to
2.8 and just now cloned.
 
Please help...
 
Christian
