Using external key with ncipher HSM

Hello,

I'm developing the pki infrastructure for the Official Press of Minas
Gerais Estate ,in  Brazil, and I'm having some problems on generating
keys outside a HSM and importing then inside the HSM.

The server is a Windows XP, and I'm using nCipher nShield HSM. I was
able to import the keys using generatekey --import, the keys are
listed using nfkminfo tool, but i don't know how to use these keys to
create a new CA. Is it possible to use external keys to create new
CAs?

Is there any special change to use imported keys in the administration
GUI? Do I need to set parameters when I start JBOSS to use external
keys?

Is there any other source of information different then ejbca.org?

I'm using ejbca-3.7.1 and jboss-4.2.3-GA

Thanks.

BTW, we are planning to develop the tools as free-software.
