Getting "PRNG is not seeded" when trying to SSH from a VE. Google says that the device /dev/random is missing. This is a VE that I'm trying to create from a physical machine copy. What should I do to the /dev directory to make it VE compatible?

I think the reason is that you had udev daemon in physical node. Thus you have to create necessary devices by yourself inside VE (`mknod /dev/random c 1 8`).
