I don't know the cause.

Have you tried booting FreeBSD from power-off state w/ the flash
drive already inserted?  That may solve your booting problem, but
will not make use of the drive any easier.

Which version if FreeBSD are you using?  Which of the [ueo]hci
drivers come up in dmesg(8) on instertion of the USB drive?
