	I just talked to Greg, and to the best of his knowledge vinum does not
need strong randomness to work. I'd still like to get a hi sign from
anyone who is knowledgeable about ccdconfig, fsck, mount and umount. By
the way, y'all may think I'm being overly cautious about this, but I
found out the hard way that vi needs randomness to run when I was doing
the previous rc.shutdown version of entropy seed files, so before we
make what I consider a much more dramatic change I'd just as soon have
some kind of reassurance that it's "safe."

Thanks,

Doug
