This is a fresh virgin install of 10.0. /etc only contains /etc/pkg 
directory with out any pkg.conf file or other sub-directories until 
after you exec on the host the first pkg command to bootstrap the 
downloading and install of pkg itself after which /etc/pkg.conf.sample 
shows up. Inside of the jail is just like the host was before bootstrap 
of pkg program.
