I updated just fine. I did unplug my firewire drive first. However, I 
did not unplug my hard drive on the 10.3.6 update and that went fine 
also.

I think they are recommending it special this time because this update 
specifically addresses firewire hard drive issues that were introduced 
in 10.3.6, and there may be something that 'touches' the firewire port 
on the install/reboot sequence.
