Essentially, a hand-tweaked version of /etc/rc.d/jail with added/removed features.

Here's how we're using it in /etc/rc.conf to successfully start up vimage jails at boot time:

========== BEGIN EXCERPT ==========

# Vimages

        vnettest

clone_interfaces=""     # Initialize list of epair/bridge interfaces to create

#
# Global settings for all Vimages

vimage_services="sshd"

========== END EXCERPT ==========
