The file in question is src/sys/arch/sparc/conf/majors.sparc.

It looks like things are in sync (NetBSD 2.0.x):

src/sys/arch/sparc/conf/majors.sparc:

  device-major    rnd             char 119                rnd


/dev/MAKEDEV:

        mkdev random    c 119 0 444
        mkdev urandom   c 119 1 644


Worth checking, but it doesn't appear to be the problem.
