As I recall, the keyboard prompt comes fairly late in the process -
certainly after
accessing the USB media to pull in /usr from it, so that would imply it's
found the
USB stick and is happy with it. The question then would be which smf
service is
getting stuck.

By verbose, was that 'boot -v'? If so, you can track progress through smf
with
'boot -m verbose' or 'boot -m debug' (I think - it's been a while).
