Thanks.
But after installing sysutils/fusefs-ntfs, it still won't mount:

# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /mnt/memstick
mount: /dev/da0s1: Invalid fstype: Invalid argument
# ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /mnt/memstick
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/da0s1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/da0s1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
# ntfs-3g /dev/da0 /mnt/memstick
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/da0': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/da0' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

-o debug shows nothing additional

Thanks,

Gary
