/dev/random as (chrooted) named's entropy source [current]

Hi list, I wonder how exactly the /dev/random of (chrooted) named works. If I just start named with named_flags="", the log says named[9291]: could not open entropy source /dev/arandom: file not found named[9291]: using pre-chroot entropy source /dev/arandom (But named runs just fine beside that
