For future ref:

I had the same problem. For some reason, after installed the Solaris patch 112438-01 there's nothing call random or urandom in /dev. So, i did a search and found its stored in /kernel/drv.

To ressolve this:
ln -s /kernel/drv/random /dev/random
ln -s /kernel/drv/random /dev/urandom

and everything start up ok without that annoying 'PRNG is not seeded' message.
