Description Josh Paetzel <josh@tcbug.org> 2005-03-15 16:30:02 UTC 

The jail 8 manpage has the following instructions which do not work:

 D=/here/is/the/jail
 cd /usr/src
 mkdir -p $D
 make world DESTDIR=$D
 cd etc
 make distribution DESTDIR=$D
 mount_devfs devfs $D/dev
 cd $D
 ln -sf dev/null kernel

This process dies at make world DESTDIR=$D

Fix: Apply the following patch to jail.8

How-To-Repeat: 

follow instructions in man jail
