Default Entering geli password on boot works after 20 min

I mount / partition on startup via this fstab entry:

Code:
/dev/ada0p2     /unenc             ufs          rw              1       1
/dev/ada0p3.eli /                  ufs          rw              2       2
On boot, I'm asked "Enter passphrase fo ada0p3" and then a few more kernel messages about umass and an external usb drive show up.

I'm then supposed to enter my passphrase. Sometimes, it's accepted instantly, most of the times, my keyboard typing is not accepted - it's like haven't typed anything. After say 20 min, my keyboard typing is finally accepted and my passphrase mounts / and booting continues. That's not supposed to be.

I don't think it a keyboard issue: it's a usb keyboard that works after booting flawlessly on the console and in X. I'm running FreeBSD 10.2.
