      Hello,

      I would like to build PfSense 2.0 on FreeBSD 8.0. I followed the wiki on http://devwiki.pfsense.org/DevelopersBootStrapAndDevIso. I would like to build it in a jail.
      I have not applied the patches for the jail because I'm running FreeBSD 8.0 (the steps to set up the jail are for FreeBSD 7.0). After, when I try to apply PfSense patches to FreeBSD, I have lots of rejects (always in the jail).

      I would like to ask you if somebody knows how to set up the jail and build the iso into it?

      Thank you

        Last I heard, you still need patches to build in a jail, but the patches haven't been maintained. I don't know if any of the devs are still using jails. Most of us use Virtual Machines for building now. VMware and VirtualBox both work. VirtualBox even works well directly on FreeBSD (I use it on my BSD workstation)
