I built a kernel without the random device and tried to use the
module.  I loaded it from the bootloader and the machine panic'ed on boot: 

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0a
da0 at sym0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0

Gdb says:

(gdb) l* 0xfffffc000042f824
0xfffffc000042f824 is in name2oid (../../kern/kern_sysctl.c:621).
616                     *p = '\0';
617
618             oidp = SLIST_FIRST(lsp);
619
620             while (oidp && *len < CTL_MAXNAME) {
621                     if (strcmp(name, oidp->oid_name)) {
622                             oidp = SLIST_NEXT(oidp, oid_link);
623                             continue;
624                     }
625                     *oid++ = oidp->oid_number;


When I boot into single user mode and try to load the module after boot, this happens:
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: 
# kldload random
panic: cpu_fork: curproc
