Comment(by cscott):

 thomaswamm: can you add some code to the boot up sequence to do something
 like:
   python -c
 'open('/dev/urandom','w').write(open('/dev/hwrng').read(1024))'
 changing the number 1024 as necessary?  Is there some amount of data we
 could be seeding /dev/urandom with to prevent this problem?  Or is
 something else on our system drawing down the entropy pool?

 From observation, we don't put much data into the entropy pool from mouse
 or keyboard events; it seems to take a *lot* of them before /dev/urandom
 will give us more bytes.  Maybe we're consuming entropy faster than we're
 generating it?
