Heh, Thanks Xin LI, I knew the cluebat would work ;)

This line:

"add path pts unhide"

...I had added to the jails, but NOT to the host /etc/defaults/devfs.rules.

It took me sending a cat of each file to realize I was missing it in the
host OS file.

I had even used diff(8) earlier, but that must have been after much
eye-strain.

Although I have no idea what "add path pts unhide" actually does, after
adding it into the proper location within the host OS filesystem, I'm
all back up and rolling ;)

Absolute kudos to Richard Bader who started me down the right path in
this thread:

The only thing that I didn't get from it was that the "add path pts
unhide" is required in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules file on the HOST OS.

Thanks much!

7.2-8.0 source upgrade with jails is 100% successful!

Good work dev team!
