  | during boot I always get the message "random_seed: /var/db/entropy-file: ...

Do you happen to have do_rcshutdown=NO in rc.conf ?

random_seed needs the rc.d script to run at system shutdown to save the
seed for the next boot.   You wouldn't want the file just left there 
unchanged, or it would not be very random (after a while anyway...)
