        How exactly are you rebooting? If you're using the 'reboot' command,
that explains why entropy reseeding is not working. As has been
discussed several times on -current, you only run rc.shutdown if you use
another method, like 'shutdown -r now', 'init 6', or even the trust
three-finger salute. 

Good luck,
