The system has a single SSD with full disk encryption and ZFS. Again, nothing special, just the user selectable install options from the 11.0 CD.

This does not seem to be ZFS problem as kernel tries to mount it after it probes all other devices
showing lots of info to the console.

You should enable both of loader's verbose loading and kernel verbose boot and try to capture all output.
Does your system have any COM-port? Both loader and kernel are capable of duplicating output to serial port.
