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.
