On FreeBSD, you need to pass in IRQ's to rndcontrol(8) to get it to gather
entropy from other sources than the keyboard.  Boot-time settings to
rndcontrol(8) can be set in /etc/rc.conf; I have:

rand_irqs="1 10 12 14 15"       # Stir the entropy pool (like "5 11")

This depends on your hardware, of course.  I've got IDE devices, a PS/2
mouse, network and soundcard.  I forget which IRQ is for which device; I
used xosview to find out which IRQ's are doing something.
