Thanks for the suggestions! I will surely try when I get the chance.
I am now in a different partition/installation that I don't want to mess up.
I want to be able to build packages besides and beyond lang/python38.
When was this entropy issue introduced (what NetBSD version)?
Does any other OS have such an entropy issue?
On the other computer, I am now on FreeBSD-current mass-building packages with synth.
Another old bug has popped up that I thought was fixed some time ago for NetBSD-current and releng-9:

I have to go into the debugger (Ctrl-Alt-Esc) if I can and reboot, otherwise Reset button.
