vnet flag?

[Markiyan Kushnir]

Not sure if I am correct, but you would have in your /etc/rc.d/jail both 
the new "jail -c vnet persist ..." to first create the jail, then the 
old form to start the jail up with its /etc/rc. This way the 
/etc/rc.d/jail will be able to start jails at system start as it has 
been now.
