Jails do not do this as they run under the hosts kernel. I believe ezjail does not create this /boot directory in the basejail for that reason. As you can see in this error message Installing updates...mkdir: /usr/jails/newjail//boot: there are 2 // before boot this is a command syntax error. I remember this problem being talked about on this list before as a ezjail bug. Looks like it has not been fixed yet. Check the jail & questions list archives for details.
