Disable with random_seed=NO in rc.conf if desired. Goes to some trouble to never load or save to network filesystems. Entropy should really be loaded by the boot loader but I am still sorting out how to pass it to the kernel.
How about passing it as a module similar to the multiboot technique? Christoph
