Description Gary W. Swearingen 2003-02-09 02:00:26 UTC
/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.
================

Fix: Apply this patch, based on
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/etc.i386/disktab,v 1.20.2.2 2002/04/15 00:44:15 dougb Exp $
to two files:
    /usr/src/etc/etc.i386/disktab
    /usr/src/etc/etc.alpha/disktab
How-To-Repeat: n/a

Could someone please do SOMETHING with this PR which has been sitting
in the DB with a patch for 2.5 years without a single followup.  All
it does is delete some poorly-maintained stuff that's better
maintained in the file's manpage.
