-The MacOS installer shipped with OpenBSD 2.7 does not correctly make all
-devices, specifically it does not make the <tt>/dev/arandom</tt> device
-needed for the userland crypto such as ssh to work.  The problem shows itself
-when ssh-keygen fails to make RSA or DSA keys, resulting in messages like
-<b>RSA-generate_keys failed</b> or <b>DSA-generate_keys failed</b>.
-<br>
-To work around this, once your machine is up and running run the following
-commands as root:
-<tt><pre>
-cd /dev
-./MAKEDEV arandom

-After doing this (and possibly installing one of the ssl27 packages),
