ERrr... that's not such a good idea. If you are running -current, make
sure your rc files are up to date, and do your restart with 'shutdown -r
now' so that rc.shutdown gets run and your /entropy file gets written.
This has all been covered on the -current mailing list recently, which
you should be reading if you're running RELENG_5.
