While it is not regarding what you ask, it may be better to forget  
about this and use the ezjail port instead. Much less work by hand to  
do. Install, have a look at the config file, and then start  
creating/using jails within some seconds (if _one_ buildworld was  
already run with the current sources)

Bye,
Alexander.
