My question then is, what's the best way of converting the "/" partition to ext3? Making sure I can get back in if it doesn't work.
Make sure ext3 is in the kernel, not a module.
Use tune2fs to set the flag and remount as you did for your other partitions.
Not sure how initrd plays with this. GRUB or lilo should be happy, as it looks like an ext2 if you need it to.
