The idea would be that bootstrap would continue without the key being
generated. The key generation could then be retried periodically.
Eventually the device should gather some entropy from network packet
arrival time and similar environmental input (whether or not that input,
particularly in the VM environment, is providing really good entropy is
a different question).
