I only stumbled on them by doing

	sysctl -a | grep fib

It's often surprising what you find that way.

In the source the exec.fib parameter is given as an integer, so the 
quotes probably shouldn't be there, but I'm not sure whether it matters. 
There's definitely a setfib call in the source that's done if exec.fib 
exists. All I can think of right now is that you try firing up the jail 
using the -v verbose flag. This should show everything the jail command 
does as the jail is created.
