I built a kernel without the random device and tried to use the
module. I loaded it from the bootloader and the machine panic'ed on boot:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0a
da0 at sym0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <SEAGATE ST39140W 1498> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device

Gdb says:
(gdb) l* 0xfffffc000042f824
0xfffffc000042f824 is in name2oid (../../kern/kern_sysctl.c:621).
616 *p = '\0';
617
618 oidp = SLIST_FIRST(lsp);
619
620 while (oidp && *len < CTL_MAXNAME) {
621 if (strcmp(name, oidp->oid_name)) {
622 oidp = SLIST_NEXT(oidp, oid_link);
623 continue;
624 }
625 *oid++ = oidp->oid_number;
When I boot into single user mode and try to load the module after boot, this happens:
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
# kldload random
panic: cpu_fork: curproc
