Hmm, should be sysid 7. I can't remember if the NTFS driver is built 
into the kernel (by default) or it's a kld module under 4.x, I'm running 
-CURRENT, but I'm sure I never had to do anything special for NTFS 
support in 4.x and the Handbook and FAQ only mention mount_ntfs.

FWIW, here's what I get (single partition, C:, on the first drive). Note 
mine is 'da0', not 'ad0', as it's SCSI not IDE:

/home/mark{38}# fdisk da0
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=8924 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=8924 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
     start 63, size 143347932 (69994 Meg), flag 0
         beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
         end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
