I think disktab(5) is a historical artifact from the ancient 4BSD days and should be removed.
vax is the only port which still has anything other than
a 3.5" floppy in disktab. All other ports keep everything
else in /usr/share/examples/disktab/disktab
They have:

# See disktab(5) for format of this file, and /usr/share/examples/disktab/

Would anyone object to the entries in vax's disktab being moved
to /usr/share/examples/disktab/disktab? Or should some of them
be kept in /etc/disktab?
