Following instructions I found on the web to deal with rndc issues, I
tried to sent entropy by doing the following:

grep ahd /var/run/dmesg.boot
ahd0: <Adaptec AIC7902 Ultra320 SCSI adapter> port 0x4000-0x40ff,0x3800-0x38ff mem 0xfe9e0000-0xfe9e1fff irq 16 at device 7.0 on pci4
ahd1: <Adaptec AIC7902 Ultra320 SCSI adapter> port 0x3400-0x34ff,0x3000-0x30ff mem 0xfe9f0000-0xfe9f1fff irq 17 at device 7.1 on pci4
pass6 at ahd1 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
da0 at ahd1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da3 at ahd1 bus 0 target 3 lun 0
da2 at ahd1 bus 0 target 2 lun 0
da1 at ahd1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
da5 at ahd1 bus 0 target 5 lun 0
da4 at ahd1 bus 0 target 4 lun 0
neptune# rndcontrol -s 17
rndcontrol: setting irq 17
rndcontrol: rndcontrol: Invalid argument

I'm quite limited in number of sources, as its a remote server, so nobody
on a keyboard or anything like that:

neptune# grep irq /var/run/dmesg.boot
IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 -> irq 0
IOAPIC #0 intpin 17 -> irq 2
IOAPIC #2 intpin 2 -> irq 16
IOAPIC #2 intpin 1 -> irq 17

atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0


I tried 18 for my ethernet as well ...
