I am trying to do some unconventional drive mounting. I have a 40mb SCSI drive formatted with HFS (from a Mac Classic) that I am trying to pull the data off of using
hfsutils-3.2.6

At first I was attempting to install hfsutils directly into TrueNAS. Which seemed like a simpleish solution. but realizing that I cant compile the application in TrueNAS without major headache I proceeded to install it into a jail.

now I need to pass /dev/da1 directly into the jail, and am not sure how to do that, I have seen a few solutions for passing a tape archive or USB serial through to a jail messing with devfs but not a harddisk. And I honestly don't fully understand it.

Obviously, mounting this drive in another mac or another *nix system, may be a simpler solution, but I currently don't have either of those things available.

Where do I need to start with this?

Do some searching (and a lot of learning) about devfs_ruleset.
