 I think 'mount_ntfs-3g' did the trick in terms of mounting /dev/da0s1

 /dev/da0s1  /homewd ntfs-3gro  0   0

 it happened because the ntfs-3g module is loaded later with the

Make sure you have recompiled fusefs, ntfs-3g and any other ports that
they rely on since you last upgraded your kernel/world.  The fusefs
kernel module seems to be quite sensitive to changes in the kernel
itself.

 Hi,

 How do I mount an NTFS formatted external harddisk plugged into the
 computer
 using a usb cable? And what do i write in the /etc/fstab after being able
 to
 successfully mount it manually?

 I have some blurry understanding after reading a bit in handbook that the
 harddisk's NTFS partition is at /dev/da0s1 by default. I have installed
 ntfs-3g from ports.

 Try mount_ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /path/to/mountpoint

 Manuals and other such documentation serve as a pretty good medium.

Solution 1: Try changing ro to ro,noauto and mount it later.  

Solution 2: Instead, try adding late to the options, so that it will
not be mounted until later in the boot process, after /usr and other
normal filesystems are mounted.  As you say the filesystem type was
added from ports, your problem might be that the OS is trying to mount
it before /usr is mounted, and the fs module is not available, although
that shouldn't generate a panic.

My 2 cents,

 /dev/da0s1              /homewd         ntfs-3g    ro              0       0


Since 7.2 new parameter -o mountprog was introduced so you should be able
to set in fstab mounting with 3th party program like this:

/dev/acd0  /mnt  ntfsro,noauto,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g
   0   0

 ... but then the computer panicked, and went into single user mode. I think
 it happened because the ntfs-3g module is loaded later with the
 fusefs-stuff.

Or due to the wrong/unsupported syntax.
