Jail not starting

[freebsd at vfemail.net]

Dear all

I have set up a Jail environment exactly the way suggested by the man  
page. Now, even though I have jails_enable="YES" in my host rc.conf,  
and the parameters are defined, it does not start on boot time. Also,  
if I try to start it using the rc script like /etc/rc.d/jail start  
<myJail>, it says configuring jail: and then Starting Jail: and simply  
sits there.

to test it, I have run it manually, like
jail /Path/To/Jail <hostname> <IP> /bin/sh /etc/rc

and it ran properly -- like the services I want to offer from within  
the jails started (those are not even configured in host, so it has to  
be the jail), they are serving, but still there is no jail pid in  
/var/run, no process called jail, and I'm at a loss.

I am running FreeBSD 6.2 stable updated last week and rebuilt (both  
host and jail).

Any suggestion, further diagnosis or request for further info is  
highly appreciated.

best regards
