Yes, I hit <esc> and now I see on the VBox guest console:

Method "/lib/svc/method/fcoeconfig" failed with exit status 127

and svc transitions it into maintenance.  Next I see:
Requesting System Maintenance Mode
Console login services cannot run

Enter user name for system maintenance:

===============================================================

I believe this is due to:
6856975 Remove of fcoeconfig in Nevada 118 makes boot fail after upgrade

The workaround is:
1. Hit <Esc> key when the bootsplash appears.
2. Enter the login name/password when the system maintenance login
   prompt appears.
3. Run: svccfg delete network/fcoe_config
4. Run: reboot
