+ random(4) and actual RNG implementations (aka, adaptors) have been
+ further decoupled. If you are running a custom kernel, you may
+ need to explicitly enable at least one RNG adaptor in your kernel
+ config. For example, to use Yarrow, add "options YARROW_RNG" to
+ your kernel config. For hardware backed RNGs, use either
+ "RDRAND_RNG" or "PADLOCK_RNG" options.
+ If you use random.ko via 'random_load="YES"' in /boot/loader.conf
+ instead of "device random", you will need to change that to
+ 'yarrow_rng_load="YES"', 'rdrand_rng_load="YES"', or
+ 'padlock_rng_load="YES"'. random.ko will be loaded automatically
+ as a dependency module.
