Either use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random, or generate some entropy events (move the mouse, etc). This is based on an old write-up I did back at Timesys: http://lldn.timesys.com/docs/about_entropy (Laurie's tendency to take my name off stuff is part of the reason I don't work there anymore...)
