i'd propose to add rnd(4) to every installation floppy kernel,
because of the following reason:
> seriously, we should consider adding rnd(4) device to installation
> kernel -
> (1) every password generator uses random number as seed so passwd(1)
> called from sysinst (for root password!) needs rnd(4).
> (2) we may want to generate ssh host keys in boot floppy.
