I was not aware of sysrc, see it is in FreeBSD but not NetBSD.
It looks like "service mountd restart" does the same thing as "/etc/rc.d/mountd
restart"; this was on NetBSD.
I took a look at the man page for sysrc.
I browsed the URL you gave me, might not be directly applicable to my case. I
see it requires iocage (which I don't have) and debootstrap (which I never used
but was aware of).
Debootstrap is in FreeBSD ports but not NetBSD pkgsrc, however I don't see why
one could not download the necessary files, apply the scripts, and make
debootstrap outside FreeBSD ports or pkgsrc framework.
I am inclined toward compatibility layer rather than jail if possible and would
want to try under both FreeBSD and NetBSD. I would probably have to do chroot.
