For normal read access a standard fstab entry with type ntfs should work.

Can you imagine I have spent at least 60 minutes to google/doogle/froogle/loogle/woogle-whatever to find out how my XP-disks are seen from FreeBSD, to finally end up with sysinstall (an article by Dru), and now you post something as usefull as ls /dev/ad*?
Happy are the ignorant such as me
Thanks, that command shows it very clearly, so I should be able to get the stuff working now. I think I would prefer to have r/w since knowing me I am sure I will mess up this installation sooner or later, and being able to copy what I have gathered on FreeBSD to my ntfs-disks (for example the backup of config files as you have tought me) would come in handy.
So I guess I will try to mess up my box by trying to use the ntfs-3g stuff from the link I mentioned above.
Thanks again (!)

ls /dev/ad* gives:
Code:
/dev/ad10 /dev/ad10s1a /dev/ad10s1d /dev/ad10s1f /dev/ad6s1 /dev/ad6s5 /dev/ad6s7
/dev/ad10s1 /dev/ad10s1b /dev/ad10s1e /dev/ad6 /dev/ad6s2 /dev/ad6s6 /dev/ad6s8
