SUMMARY: Lacking /dev/random - dev, random, dns, rndc, rndc-confgen, bind

Solutions:
1) http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~andi - Most people have recommended this 
method, so it must be the best solution for this issue.
2) Keep typing randomly and patiently until get the 'Stop typing' message.
3) Load SUNWski package.
4) rpngd from www.sunfreewhere.com
