I have a FreeBSD 10-stable installation on a 32 GB USB 3.0 stick where I often get the mountroot> prompt. Responding ufs:/dev/gpt/FBSDUSB3i386-root works for me. Otherwise, you could fish for the device node, maybe ufs:/dev/da0s1a assuming the USB stick is MBR-partitioned. If you could read the messages, that would help, but they might have scrolled by irretrievably. It would help if you could read the partition table or partitioning scheme of that USB stick. You could also tweak /boot/loader.conf on the USB stick, like maybe kern.cam.scsi.delay="13000" # This is in milliseconds kern.cam.boot.delay="16000" # Again in milliseconds vfs.mountroot.timeout="10" # This is in seconds, I'm thinking of raising this to 20 Tom
