I have no idea about the upgrade path- I just do a forklift upgrade myself. Go via ftp to current.freebsd.org /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386 and select anyone of a number of snapshots. Basically I just snarf the floppy images and boot those and install across the wire- even with 144Kbit DSL it's not too bad.
