Lets try a couple of things.

1) Please see if changing to Fortuna gets you an unlocked device quickly =
enough:

device          random                  # Entropy device
options         RANDOM_DEBUG
options         RANDOM_FORTUNA          # Use the Fortuna CSPRNG
#options	RANDOM_YARROW		# The default

2) If you are staying with Yarrow, then try setting these sysctls =
suitably early:

kern.random.yarrow.fastthresh: 48
kern.random.yarrow.slowthresh: 64
kern.random.yarrow.slowoverthresh: 1

In either case, please post verbose output from a clean boot.
