mount -t ntfs-3g doesn't work correctly at this time due to the changes
made for nmount. To get it working:
% cd /sbin
% mv mount_ntfs mount_ntfs.sav
% ln -s /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g mount_ntfs

With this, mounting with '-t ntfs' will work much better, though I can't
swear that you will be able to mount an md image.

Alternatively, just use the mount-3g command directly:
% ntfs-3g /dev/md0 /mnt
