The problem may also be that USB devices take a long time to settle.
I suggest these in your /boot/loader.conf

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
kern.cam.boot_delay="10000"
kern.cam.scsi_delay="2000"

The CAM boot delay is needed for USB booting on some of my machines,
esp. Soekris boxes.  10 seconds is safe.
