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. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
