+.Sh NAME
+.Nm virtio_random
+.Nd VirtIO Entropy driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device virtio_random"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+virtio_random_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+device driver provides support for VirtIO entropy devices.
+.Pp
+The entropy device supplies high-quality randomness from the
+hypervisor to the guest.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr random 4
+.Xr virtio 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Bryan Venteicher Aq bryanv@FreeBSD.org .
