additional information: I did the same on some other laptop I have and
there is a message:

Root mount waiting for: ubus4

before the message

da0: <Ut165 USB2FlashStorage 0.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device 
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 7712MB (15794176 512 byte sectors: 255H 63 S/T 983C)

comes up and then again

Root mount waiting for: ubus4
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/da0sa1

which works fine and the system comes up from USB key;

maybe this helps to figure out what the problem is; thx
