Yes VIMAGE & Jails are part of the 8.x releases. Jail is in the base 
release in its manual form and you have to recompile the kernel to 
enable VIMAGE which is labeled experimental. Jails are used in many 
production environments managed by the sysutil/qjail port but use VIMAGE 
at your own risk. Have no info on epair.
