How can we suggest edits for the docs?

The docs still reference using sysinstall to setup a jail when it hasn't
been that since at least 2011
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=jail&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release-ports

     Start a shell in the jail:

	   jail	-c path=/data/jail/testjail mount.devfs	\
		   host.hostname=testhostname ip4.addr=192.0.2.100 \
		   command=/bin/sh

     Assuming no errors, you will end up with a	shell prompt within the	jail.
     You can now run */usr/sbin/sysinstall* and do the post-install configura-
     tion to set various configuration options,	or perform these actions manu-
     ally by editing */etc/rc.conf*, etc.
