To mount Windows shares at boot-time, you have to do the following:

Edit /boot/loader.conf (if it does not exist, create it) by adding the folowing line:

    smbfs_load="YES"



This will enable the modules at boot-time, if you don't want to reboot now, do:



    

    # kldload smbfs.ko

From now on you will have two ways. You have to edit /etc/nsmb.conf if you would like system-wide mounts and you have to edit ~/.nsmbrc if you want a mount only for the current user. First of all, make smbutil encrypt your password (I entered 'mypass' below):

    # smbutil crypt

    Password:

    $$16144562c293a

Of course you can use a plaintext password as well, but this is safer (you don't want to give out your Windows password, do you? :-D) Now open one of the aforementioned files and add your Windows server and the credentials:
    

    # The server IP

    [MYWINSERVER]

    addr=192.168.10.23

    # The server credentials

    [MYWINSERVER:USERNAME]

    password=$$16144562c293a 

Save the file, then open /etc/fstab, and add:
    

//Username@MYWINSERVER/sharedfoldername      /mnt/mountpointname        smbfs   rw,-N

Try it:



    

    # mount /mnt/mountpointname

Hope this helped.
