When setting entropy_file="/var/db/entropy" in rc.conf
This error happens:
No entropy file, trying other sources
After a few minutes the machine continues booting
/var is mounted on a separate partition from /

Setting to :
entropy_file="/tmp/entropy"
This happens:
Reading entropy file
rm: /tmp/entropy: Read-only file system
machine boots normally except for the above error

Setting to:
entropy_file="NO"
the machine hangs at:
setting ELF ldconfig path: /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib.
break to debugger and reboot is needed. Then have to boot -s and edit rc.conf and
set entropy file to something.
