eliminate the need to generate keys on the initial system boot.
However, I still generate a public/private key pair for each user the
first time they log in.
(which could delay that by many tens of minutes for the 2048 bit key)
Maybe I

and also dropbearkey's printout.
I changed to 2048 because 1024 is likely to become breakable within the next

Everything went well until a system system tried to generate server keys
on first boot.
Then it hung while working to generate the default 2048 bit RSA key.
Further investigation determined that it had not really
