The next area for the similar clean-up should, probably, be disklabel...

	% disklabel ccd0
	type: CCD
	disk: ccd
	[...]
	rpm: 3600
	interleave: 1
	trackskew: 0
	cylinderskew: 0
	headswitch: 0           # milliseconds
	track-to-track seek: 0  # milliseconds
	drivedata: 0 
	[...]

Some of those seem useless/bogus to me. May be, some of them really are?
