Download the install floppies for 3.2.
During the install, under Options change the release from 3.2-RELEASE to 
4.4-RELEASE.
After the /usr/libexec files are installed you'll be able to use vi and edit 
/etc/fstab replacing /dev/wd* with /dev/ad*. You could also wait until after you 
reboot and it drops to you single user to do this.
After booting, run mergemaster replacing all necessary files in /etc, you should 
be fine after that.

But more ram never hurt anybody.
