Thanks, now I might have a clearer idea of what you're describing.

For me, occasionally, boot (from OpenZFS on adao) fails in the presence of some
combination of external USB devices. IIRC multi-user mode either (a) is not
reached, or (b) does not progress. 

The 'offending' device is not necessarily one that contains a pool. Sometimes
it might be a cache device; other times IIRC it might be not storage-related.
Sometimes, randomness – a failure to boot with a particular set of USB devices
might be followed by a successful boot with the same set, with no change to
connections. When the bug bites: I remove the device, boot continues. There
might be an existing bug report for this type of thing.
