I do it like this:
% gmirror status
       Name    Status  Components
 mirror/sys  COMPLETE  ad0s1a
                       ad1s1a
mirror/home  COMPLETE  ad0s1d
                       ad1s1d
% graid5 status
      Name        Status  Components
raid5/data  COMPLETE HOT  ad0s1e
                          ad1s1e
                          ad3e
% swapinfo
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
/dev/ad0s1b        250016      336   249680     0%
% mount
/dev/mirror/sys on / (ufs, local, soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/mirror/home on /usr/home (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/raid5/data on /aux (ufs, local, soft-updates)
