devices entries in chroot jail

[Satya Mishra]

The freepops jail create script (create_jail.sh) does not create devices for entropy. The start.sh it creates uses /bin/sh as interpreter and features from bash. /bin/sh is a symlink do dash when it is installed. So this fails. The following patch fixes the problems.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

I do not know if it is still a problem. I stopped using the chroot jail.
