Hi Justin,

Does power use bsdinstall (which populates /boot/entropy at install
time via usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/entropy) and install the
libexec/rc/rc.d/random rc script (which re-emits new /boot/entropy on
every startup)?  If so, it should be ok.

The problem is new installs that don't use bsdinstall or otherwise
provide initial /boot/entropy.  E.g., the CI infrastructure for
Riscv/Arm is/was generating minimal filesystem images and not
populating /boot/entropy.

Best,
Conrad
