I have the following in my jail startup script

devfs_domount /local/2/hobbiton/dev devfsrules_jail
devfs_set_ruleset devfsrules_jail /local/2/hobbiton/dev
/sbin/devfs -m /local/2/hobbiton/dev rule -s 4 applyset


I am not sure which one is working but one of them is :-)   I will have 
to debug it some more and simplify this
