Trying to hand edit a disklabel, but I can't seem to find
the right
keywords for google nor the right man page.

For an ATA66 hard drive can I just enter that
"ATA66", or should I
put "IDE", or is there some standard list of types
somewhere I can
refer to.  TIA

disklabel has a few different "types".

I'd just leave it as is. Mine has: unknown.

Anyways it is document in disklabel(5) man page. (man 5
disklabel)
Search for "d_type values:" and
"dktypenames" for the list of types.

Other type of disk types are listed in /etc/disktab and 
/usr/share/examples/disktab/.

And file system types are also documented in disklabel(5)
man page. Search 
for "fstypenames" for list.
