Dance fandango on keyboard to unblock. If you go digging through the archives here (possibly under the freebsd-current mailing list), you'll find a lot of talk about the chicken-n-egg situation with startup entropy. I'm not running -CURRENT so I don't have personal experience, but I remember people being in your situation and finding ways around it. Note the message through -- it looks like it is blocking on lack of entropy, and one of the sources for that is keyboard interrupts. If you typed on the keyboard for a while you would probably generate enough entropy to get the install going again.
