Not quite.  That there is nothing which NetBSD, independent of the
sysadmin, is confident is a reliable source of entropy.

It's entirely possible one or more of those sources actually does
supply usable entropy, but NetBSD doesn't realize that (and, as I
understand it, provides no way for the sysadmin to fix that, short of
hacking on the source).
