This was deliberate.  The preseedrandom script only exists to get
enough entropy into the system to get initdiskless off the ground.
Real entropy seeding takes place in initrandom.  You must not assume
rc.conf exists when preseedrandom is called!  The only things you get to
assume are a / as populated by installworld and an /etc as populated by
make distribute.  At that /etc/rc.conf may not exist since it could be
created by initdiskless.
