Can I jail an older 32-bit FreeBSD on a (current) 64-bit FreeBSD?

My question is actually pretty much in the title. Is it possible to jail an older 32-bit FreeBSD, such as 6.4 or 8.4 in a 64-bit FreeBSD 10.2?



I'll also appreciate pointers and explanations on how to accomplish this and information on what prerequisites my host needs to fulfill.



NB: according to this blog article, jailing an older FreeBSD on a current one is possible. But that article makes no mention of 32-bit versus 64-bit.

COMPAT_FREEBSD32 needs to be enabled in your FreeBSD kernel (It is enabled in the GENERIC kernel)



There might be problems with the 32bit ps and top programs.
