Correct, just sequentially. You can use the PKCS#11 function calls to find
the first uninitialized slot. There is however a potential feature request
in https://issues.opendnssec.org/browse/SOFTHSM-100 to initialize the first
free slot when using the softhsm tool.

You normally never use the PKCS#11 interface to initialize a token in e.g.
a SafeNet HSM. You use the administrative interface. Because you also need
to setup other credentials than the SO and User PIN.
