Okay, here's man page of umount (umount-2.11r):

******************
SYNOPSIS
umount [-dflnrv] dir | device [...]

DESCRIPTION
The umount command detaches the file system(s) mentioned
from the file hierarchy.  A file system is specified by
giving the directory where it has been mounted.  Giving the
special device on which the file system lives may also
work, but is obsolete, mainly because it will fail in case
this device was mounted on more than one directory.
*******************

So I guess both umount /dev/fd0 and umount /foo works for now.
