Heh, that alias looks a tad familiar ;)

What have you tried?  You should be able
to just have the alias point to the same device
entry.

You might also be able to create a symlink
to the device; I just tried this on 5.2 (as root,
of course):

$cd /dev
$ln -s fd0 fdnew
$mount -t msdos /dev/fdnew /mnt
$ls /mnt

No issues.
But, isn't "NFS" ~ "network file system."  Are
you sure of what you're asking for, there?
