Standard mount points include

: /usr/
: /var/ 
: /tmp/
: /mnt/  
: /cdrom/ 

These directories are usually referenced to entries in

/etc/fstab

This file is a table of various file systems and mount points and is read by the system. Most of the file systems in

/etc/fstab

are mounted automatically at boot time from the script

rc(8)

unless their entry includes noauto. Details can be found in FreeBSD Handbook Section 3.7.1 “The fstab File”.
