When I last had it installed I just had a short script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ that started it for me. Windows partitions can be mounted with a command like 'mount_msdos /dev/ad0s1 /mnt'. Check out your boot messages to find out what your device is likely to be, and also check 'man mount_msdos' for more information. Andrew.
