Hi

I=E2=80=99m not sure what you are showing me here?

How yo you draw the =E2=80=9Cnot enough entropy=E2=80=9D conclusion?

The writing happens at shutdown; before you do the shutdown could you =
please do a =E2=80=98sysctl kern.random=E2=80=99 and post the result?

Do you have anything random-related in your rc.conf?

Could you please do a verbose boot on a kernel with =E2=80=9Coptions =
RANDOM_DEBUG=E2=80=9D set and send me the dmesg output from a failing =
box.

M
