Somewhere between 1.3.91 and 2.0.10, the code for choosing the route device
when an IP alias existed was changed. I had a similar problem where packets
were going out with the wrong IP address, route was using eth0:0 instead of
eth0. Changing the route statement in rc.inet1 to explicitly specify 'dev
eth0' fixed it for me.
Sorry, cannot help with the wrong NFS mount problem.
