Should be included in the documentation somewhere, but here is an entry
for using df0: as ms0:

/* Messy file system on messy blocks: */
MS0:    FileSystem = l:MessyFileSystem
        Device = devs:messydisk.device
        Unit = 0
        Flags = 0
        LowCyl = 0 ; HighCyl = 79
        Reserved = 0
        Surfaces = 2
        BlocksPerTrack = 9
        Buffers = 5
        BufMemType = 1  /* messydisk needs no chip mem */
        BootPri = 0
        Stacksize = 4096
        Priority = 5
        GlobVec  = -1
