Since I am running my stuff inside an rc.d style script, and I noticed 
a bunch of devfs related routines in /etc/rc.subr I tried the following

devfs_rulesets_from_file /etc/defaults/devfs.rules
devfs_domount /jail/host/dev devfsrules_jail

in my script.

It does mount the devfs in the right place but it does not seem to 
apply the rules.

An example would be appreciated if anyone else does this directly.

Thanks
