It's normal to see that a few times and the number of times depends on the drive.
It may not actually be stopping there. That's the last thing you see if you have dual consoles enabled, and the other one is set as primary, until boot completes.
I would guess it's set as serial console primary and it lost a NIC when you removed it so it's now waiting at the interfaces assign screen but you can't see that.
Try forcing vidconsole:
