https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D205800 --- Comment #6 from commit-hook@freebsd.org --- A commit references this bug: Author: jhb Date: Wed Feb 10 18:29:38 UTC 2016 New revision: 295480 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/295480 Log: Adjust initialization of random(9) so it is usable earlier. A few existing SYSINITs expect the in-kernel PRNG (random(9)) to be useable at SI_SUB_RANDOM / SI_ORDER_ANY. However, the random(4) overhaul merged for 10.0 performs all of its initialization at SI_SUB_DRIVERS (since it is tied in with creating the /dev/random character device). This has changed in HEAD where the random initialization is split such that the in-kernel random(9) is initialized at SI_SUB_RANDOM and the supporting bits for userland random(4) (such as /dev/random) are initiali= zed later. However, the changes in HEAD are large and invasive. Instead, this change is being directly committed to stable/10. This change moves most of the random(9)/random(4) initialization to SI_SUB_RANDOM with the exception that the creation of the harvesting kern= el process and the /dev/random character device are deferred to new SYSINITs that run at SI_SUB_DRIVERS. This fixes the "random device not loaded; using insecure entropy" message output during boot on some systems.
