This is a big update.

1)  Back up everything.
2)  Any ports you have installed wll probably fail unless you have the
pesence of mind to copy the libraries into aout/ directories. I would
suggest rebuilding those ports/packages once you complete the upgrade
anyway.
3)  Do a binary upgrade.
4)  PLEASE PLEASE read the 3.2 ERRATA at
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.2R/errata.html !!
