Just "mount" is good enough, even as non-root:

grumpy: {1001} mount
/dev/da0s2a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/da0s2f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/da0s2e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s3e on /usr2 (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s3f on /usr3 (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad4s3g on /usr4 (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
grumpy: {1002}
