System is: FreeBSD 5.0(13)-CURRENT-20001014

Three times, it hung up during boot after message:
setting ELF ldconfig path: /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/li
b

trace from DDB said:

.... [scgets and neighbours stuff]
atbkd_isa_intr()
ithd_loop() at ithd_loop+0x8a
fork_trampoline() at fork_trampoline+0x1b

After that, I booted it to single mode, and after "ldconfig" (without
params) the hanging happened again. At 4th boot, it booted normally,
hence I came too late with idea to read kernel debugging section of handbook;|

About entropy file. At my home system, /var is not at / (it is symlink to
/usr/var). /etc/rc reads entropy file before mounting all filesystems,
and it failed and fell back to cat'ing /etc/* ;|
Should it be better to read entropy file after mounting all filesystems?
Imho it is incorrect to place it on root FS.
