Once upon a time Lew Grondin shaped the electrons to say...
>1. How do I save the configuration of the FLASH memory prior to upgrading
>to PM_2.3.3.2cl.

pmreadconf

NOTE: 3.3.2 and up *cannot* use saved configs from prior releases. So if
you save an old config, you will need to downgrade to reuse it. Writing an
old config to a machine running 3.3.2 or higher is liable to break the S0
and W1/P0 ports, and possibly cause other problems as well. The FLASH layout
was changed.

>2. What other precautions should I take, since we have only one PM box, and
>can not afford any long term down time.

Keep a copy of the old ComOS on hand. If you run into trouble you can
downgrade and reload the old config.
