 Setting entropy=check will halt multi-user boot, this will not. Instead 
 an error is logged in the same way as, say, Postfix being unable to 
 start because the hostname or DNS isn't configure correctly.
 
 My initial use case was for people building custom NetBSD images. When I 
 do test my custom images, I boot them and then check /var/run/rc.log to 
 see which services have failed because that provides a nice succinct 
 list of problems that I need to fix.
 
 Cheers,
 Lloyd
