But it still is automounted via /mnt/disk0, right? I just had a look
into it and yes, my patch doesn't add the automount for the aliases.

I'll look into it next week. I hope we get away to just create a
symbolic link from the alias to the real cdev, i.e. from /mnt/usbdisk0 to
/mnt/disk0. That would have to be done in
cdev_create_default_automount().
