  Modified files:
    etc                  crontab rc 
    etc/defaults         rc.conf 
    etc/mtree            BSD.root.dist BSD.var.dist 
    libexec/save-entropy save-entropy.sh 
  Log:
  Move the process of storing entropy from /dev/random and reseeding with
  it at boot time closer to the way we want it to be in the final version.
  
  * Move the default directory to /var/db/entropy
  * Run the entropy saving cron job every 11 minutes. This seems
    to be a better default, although still bikeshed material.
  * Feed /dev/random some cheesy "entropy" from various commands
    and files before the disks are mounted. This gives /dev/random
    a better chance of running without blocking early.
  * Move the reseeding with previously stored entropy to the point
    immediately after the disks are mounted.
  * Make the harvesting script a little safer in regards to the
    possibility of accidentally overwriting something other
    than a regular file.
