            Bug ID: 283672
           Summary: Chapter 17 Jails - download urls should use uname for
                    machine type.
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Books & Articles

          Reporter: william@firstyear.id.au

While testing jails in an aarch64 virtual machine, I made the silly mistake of
not checking the arch in the download url for the release tar. This led to me
creating a thin jail that was amd64, which failed to start with an exec format
error.

It's probably a rare occurance, but it would be good to have the `fetch`
commands listed with uname -m in the urls to pick the correct machine type to
download automatically to prevent users making the same mistake.
