+ /dev/random now has good entropy collection (from the keyboard
+ and sysmouse drivers). Please ensure that either `options
+ RANDOMDEV' is present in your kernel config file or that
+ `randomdev_load="YES"' is in your /boot/loader.conf. If you do
+ not have the /dev/random driver, OpenSSL (and consequently
+ lots of crypto tools (like SSH)) will fail with strange
+ errors. (see below, 20000624).

+ phk made the default options AJ. This may slow things down
+ and uncover other latent bugs in the code. If you need to run
+ at full speed, you can disable this by doing the following:
+ ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf
