Yes, this is possible. When I get into work, I'll share with you the recipe (I have a script called "update4.sh" which I run after building [or rsync'ing] a 4.x box to an 8.x box to become a vimage; note that I didn't say "jail" -- 4.x runs better as a VNET jail than a regular jail).
We've not had much luck in running 4.x as a non-vnet jail under 8.x whereas vnet-jail works wonders (with a couple binaries replaced, like netstat, ifconfig, ps, and top for example). -- Devin ________________________________________ From: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org [owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org] on behalf of Bernt Hansson [b...@bananmonarki.se] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 5:23 AM To: questions FreeBSD Subject: Jail question Hello list!
