Yes, it's mounted.

Because I can set up jails with an identical procedure on other boxes we
run I suspect something is wrong with the install so I am starting from
scratch with this one.

While doing that, I am trying to sort another problem, namely to boot
zfs on root on a HP Proliant with a P410 controller, but that is another
story.

You know, if it was easy it would not be interesting...

Thanks!
