>Description:
/etc/disktab has a list of field descriptions which is incomplete
and which has slightly different descriptions of fields than the
disktab(5) manpage. Having this info in this file is an extra
maintenance task which is not worth the effort and it should be
replaced with a reference to the manpage.
