My plans to "upgrade" old 3.2 and 3.4 machines have effectively turned into plans to identify important data, reinstall FreeBSD from scratch, move the data back into production, and do a better job of tracking releases from now on. One of my biggest problems upgrading from 3.x is that the root filesystem space requirements have doubled since then. Unless you allocated a larger-than-recommended root partition for the 3.4 install, that issue alone may cause more headache than it's worth.
