As Rosanna Rosannadanna would say, "Never Mind".

I simply created an empty /proc in the jail, and it seems to have made
it happy. It then complained about not being able to stat /sys, so I
added an empty /sys too. If I need anything else, I guess it'll tell me,
and then I'll add it.

Thanks for the sounding board.
