Under /devfs, the /dev/fd0 is a link to /dev/floppy/0, so the devfs would
see the explicit request for /dev/floppy device, and send "floppy" to
kmod, and you can alias whatever module that would need to be loaded to
floppy.
It would be loaded automagically. My explaination might be warped, but
the basic idea stands.
