I see. That is a bit tricky... the entire "count the entropy" thing sounds like a pain. I guess I don't see a way around it - they link to fortuna, but I don't see how that's going to fix it. It sounds like fortuna is a better prng, so in theory if you have N outputs it's harder to get back to the seed? But the attacker is so early in the boot process...
It would help I guess.
I'll have to read up on Fortuna, at the least, as it sounds really neat.
edit: OK Fortuna is more than I expected. I have to read up.
