I can confirm the issue on my laptop (Dell Lattitude E6520) with
10.0-RELEASE-p7 using an encrypted boot on zfs, and booting from usb
thumb drive. It doesn't do it if I have no other USB devices plugged in
in addition to the USB thumb frive. However if its in the port
replicator, with external mouse/keyboard I get a lot of device discovery
prompts following the prompt for the password. Its only a nuisance for
me, though when I built it off the port replicator then took it into the
office and booted it the first time I thought I broke it and hard reset
it. The next boot I was watching closely and saw the prompt go by.
