The key received in the first step of a SSH session is the
host key which identifies the host (in your case: the nanoBSD
box). This key is stored in the SSH client's key database for
reference because the key of a box typically does not change.
If it changes - there should be a valid reason for it, or it
might look like "there's something wrong here".

As explained, this host key is generated when no key is found
at startup. As soon as you make it permanent to your nanoBSD
installation, the key will obviously stay the same, and the
SSH client won't complain.
