>Description:
conf/std has the following comment, which seems outdated.
#
# Kernel entropy pool and random-number generator pseudodevice.
# The pseudodevice might stop being "std" when the two are torn
# apart some day but the entropy pool itself never will (they are
# presently implemented in the same source file)
#
pseudo-device rnd
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
a. make rnd optional again (ie. revert the band-aid fix)
or
b. fix the comment
i prefer a. because it restores a kernel config incompatibility from
the previous release.
