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? Kevin Kinsey
