Key file creation problem

I CAN NOT CREATE KEY FILE

a) Creation of a key

You have to get a key so rndc can communicate with bind :
dnssec-keygen -a hmac-md5 -b 128 -n user rndc

It will create you two files. Get the value of the key in the .key one.

ERROR MESSAGE AS FOLLOWS:

You must use the keyboard to create entropy, since your system is lacking
/dev/random (or equivalent)

start typing:
