Ok, valid point.

Yes, multiple devfs mounts are the way to go. Or mount linprocfs...

It's at least documented in the man page for creating jails... I think.

8 is the default. If you don't have something which depends upon a
newer one, use the default.
A lot of people use rh-9 (OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh9 in make.conf),
but the port has some flaws and Trevor doesn't react. I think I will
claim a maintainer timeout soon (perhaps at the weekend if I get time)
and fix some things (runtime linker path if you want to use the X11
libs). I don't use it myself, but I haven't heard very bad things about
it.
Bye,
Alexander.
