dnssec-keygen just hangs on Three Different FreeBSD Systems.

	Thank you for the information.  I successfully got the
systems in question listening to the interrupts and a couple of
them I have tried now output some data if I cat /dev/random |more
or in to a file, but dnssec-keygen still only sits there doing
nothing if I run it.

	So far, I added the interrupts to rndcontrol which
verifies that they are being used.  I also added

        rand_irqs="3 14 15"

As recommended and booted one of the systems and, yes, they were
still there.  Am I missing anything else?

	There is no t.conf on this system in /etc/defaults.  I
suspect the seed is still not present.  On one system, only a
byte or 2 emerged when I performed the cat /dev/random >somefile.
This is after over twelve hours of supposedly catching entropy.:-)
