Following suggestion by Miroslav Lachman I have tested a few other releases of
FreeBSD to see if this issue still persists, and if it was perhaps a
regression. Unfortunately, in all the tests, 9.3-12.0-CURRENT, I get exactly
the same error. The initial boot stops after displaying messages about
place to ask, please kindly direct me to the correct
mailing list.
The full details with boot console outputs:

Regards from Ireland,

, and I will report back here, then I suppose I
can make a decision if to move this discussion to freebsd-current, as
recommended by @wishmaster. I apologise for confusing which list to keep
reporting to.
Many thanks,
