Hi.

I just took ordinary steps to have a working jail on ZFS:
- make buildworld
- make installworld DESTDIR=/path/to/jail
- make distribution DESTDIR=/path/to/jail
- copy/edit some config files (mainly under /path/to/jail/etc)
- start jail
- jexec 1 /bin/sh

from /etc/rc.conf (besides enabling jail, list of jails etc.):
jail_name_procfs_enable="YES"
jail_name_devfs_enable="YES"

That's all.
