Modified Files:
src/sys/kern: kern_entropy.c
Log Message:
Accept both byte orders for random seed in the kernel.
The file format was defined with a machine-dependent 32-bit integer
field (the estimated number of bits of entropy in the process that
generated it). Fortunately we have a checksum to verify the order.
This way you can use `rndctl -S' on a little-endian machine to
generate a seed when installing NetBSD on a big-endian machine, and
the kernel will accept it on boot.
