[OpenIndiana-discuss] no randomness provider for /dev/random?

[Bryan N Iotti]

Hi there!

  Thank you for the replies.

It's just the actual burner not ejecting when empty, not OI. Works fine 
when the IDE cable is disconnected, though, but it is properly jumpered 
and connected/recognized by BIOS... Weird.

Thanks for the heads-up on the prestable repo, updated today.
