+ help
+ This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator. It
+ attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy
+ as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its
+ own drivers. It registers itself as a standard hardware random number
+ generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is
+ /dev/hwrng.
+ The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package
+ (check your distro, or download from
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/). rngd periodically reads
+ /dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random.
