Oops you may want to try adding this to your rc.conf:
rand_irqs="9 10 11"
Thanks for your post, Mark. I did man random and then went on to look at my
rc.conf and figured out why I couldn't get /dev/random working before. The
rand_rqs line in rc.conf had a few garbage characters in it after the equal
sign. I removed it and ran rndcontrol rather than rebooted to test it out
and now I don't hang when I use the /dev/random device. I think it's
important to use rndcontrol or rand_irqs in your rc.conf in FreeBSD or
dnssec-keygen hangs forever.
