In this situation, you need to do this:
umount -f -t nfs phosphorus:/phosphorus
This causes umount to stat("phosphorus:/phosphorus") (which fails) rather
than "/mnt".
I really don't understand all the reasons behind this, but there seems to
be a result of a lot of hackery so that:
ln -s /dev/wd0c /dev/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
umount /dev/cdrom /mnt
.. works. I don't recall the problems that it has to work around, but I
gather that at mount time the symlink is followed and "/dev/wd0c" is
installed in the mount table - so "/dev/cdrom" would not be matched by
umount(2).

bde commented that the current behavior is needed so that "/dev/cdrom"
shows up in ``mount'' w/o args instead of "/dev/wd0c".
