Sean, /kernel/drv/random is a DRIVER, an object file loadable to a kernel,
not a device.  You should configure the driver somehow to be loaded at
startup and to assign a device (by reboot -r).  It was a time since I
last used solaris, so I don't remember more details.  Maybe
/kernel/drv/random.conf or something...
