cat /etc/fstab
will show you what gets mounted at boot time.
mount
pstat -T
and disklabel

e.g.
disklabel twed0s1
or
disklabel ad0s1

depending on what you have mounted.

>3. How do I check current memory usage (sim. 'free' in Linux)?

As for memory, top and ps and vmstat are tools that will help you out.  But 
each of those have caveats you should be aware of when interperting the 
numbers.
