Using a write to /dev/random as a reseed was there from day one (check = random(4)), and while it is not the clearest thing on the planet that a reseed = unblocks the device, that has always been there by intent. That is how = etc/rc.d/initrandom is supposed to work. In checking the man page I've released that connection needs to be = clarified. I've (re)set the "seeded" bit, so behaviour is as it was. I'll look for = a way to set this bit from the kernel config file.
