It's running FreeBSD 10 with geli-encrypted ZFS root. This happened before I updated to vt, though. I managed to work around the problem, surprisingly enough, by mashing the keyboard when the system boots as soon as I see bold white kernel text. Then, when prompted for the passphrase (after all the USB devices finish probing / attaching), I hit enter to clear the buffer and then am able to enter the passphrase correctly. I'll be filing a PR for this, probably on Monday, should I not be able to find one that's similar. -- Chris Nehren
