Easy to make such a mistake.  FreeBSD uses /compat/linux rather than /emul/linux .

My question now is whether you can take the desired Linux installation or rootfs and 

mount_null /linux-rootfs /emul/linux (using the actual directory/path rather than /linux-rootfs verbatim)?

That way would permit using various Linux rootfs or installations one at a time rather than being married to one.
