I believe this information may be useful to others, so I have written an article outlining the necessary steps. Comments and criticisms alike are welcome, as I plan to submit a patch for inclusion into the official Documentation. Normally, I would include a patch, but my mailer always breaks them. The patch is located at: http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/ports/patch/doc.article.file-backed-jails.txt -- Glen Barber
