Thanks, but this isn't the part I'm interested in.  It looks like
what I need is the stuff that sets up the IP alias, routing, etc.
for the jail.  The ifconfig_*_alias* and any route_* or related
rc.conf entries.

Nope, I had a devfs set up.

Note that I'm still getting them set up; so I'm starting them by hand
instead of using the rc script.  (Well, actually, I'll use an updated
version of the script I was using on 4.8 because I have some additional
work I want done there and I don't want to start the jails until after
the stuff in /usr/local/etc/rc.d have been run.)

Sounds good to me.  And a similar patch for procfs.

Or perhaps some more generic solution that would allow for open-ended
additional mounts?

	jail_mumble_mounts='/etc/fstab.mumble'

Then in the loop in /etc/rc.d/jail:

	eval jail_fstab=\"$jail_${_jail}_mounts\"
	[ -n $jail_fstab ] && mount -a -F $jail_fstab

Note that fstab.mumble is outside the jail; and should only contain
entries for devfs, procfs, and other mounts to be done on top of the
jail before starting it.
