    Hi,

    With the latest dev/random commits I have been unable to installworld in
    single-user mode. mktemp blocks when trying to read the random device, I have
    confirmed this by doing 'hexdump /dev/random' which produces no output.

    after running '/etc/rc.d/random start' everything is working fine. Can anyone
    else confirm this?

    Andy
