>Description:
In the handbook for creating jails: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails-build.html the 5th step is "cd etc/" and has a footnote that says "This step is not required on FreeBSD 6.0 and later."

In 7.1-REL if you "cd etc/" the "make distribution" fails. It only works from /usr/src now. Maybe take that step out and make a foot-note for "if running version prior to 6.0" would cause less confusion.

The man page does not have the "cd etc/" step: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=jail&sektion=8 so no update required there.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 7.1-REL and don't skip the "cd etc/" step in: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails-build.html.
>Fix:
Take the "cd etc/" step out and make a foot-note for version prior to 6.0.
