the disktab entry for an rz25 is correct in the alpha port.  There are
also other models which are similar, but not, "rz25"s, e.g. the "rz25l".

This isn't specific to rz25-family disks.

Looking through a DEC (Digital UNIX) disktab, i see entries for:
	rz23
	rz23l
	rz24
	rz24l
	rz25
	rz25L
	rz26
	rz26b
	rz26l
	rz26m
	rz28
	rz28b
	rz28l

As far as i can tell, some of those are just different partition
layouts, or something, but others (in particular, all the 'l' models)
appear to be different actual disks.
