--- Comment #1 from Ben Woods <woods...@freebsd.org> ---
If I am understanding correctly, the confusion is in the third line of output:
"Enter passphrase for nvd0s1d: ugen0.3: <vendor 0x8087 product 0x0a2b> at
usbus0"

The first part of that line is prompting you to enter your GELI passphrase to
decrypt the hard drive - boot will pause until you complete this step.
"Enter passphrase for nvd0s1d:"

After that line is printed to the console, the kernel discovers some USB
devices, and prints the details to the screen. It has an error in activating
one of the USB devices, but that does not appear to be related at all to the
boot process.

The confusion on your part is that the message that the boot has paused an is
waiting for you to enter your passphrase is no longer the last thing on the
screen - other unrelated messages have flooded over the top of that. It is not
immediately apparent to you that the computer is waiting for your input.

Instead of pushing enter, if you immediately typed your GELI passphrase, it
would continue the boot process (despite the other text having been written to
the screen).

This user experience does leave a bit to be desired.
