May I suggest you to go back to the step before you disconnected your TPlink Wirelss PCIE adapter & Firewire adapter.
The "long wait" as shown in your posted boot screen image is known to occur with TPLink PCIE Wirelss adapter. If you wait a few more minutes or take a "coffee break" and come back it might eventually go to the log-in screen. This is not a fatal error or fatal freeze; I have seen this. I suggest you 'wait it out' without making any hardware changes at this juncture.
Reinsert the removed hardware and reboot and wait out for 30-40 minutes before trying anything else as you are near your finish line!.
What is the use of connecting all those cards and waiting 30-40 Mins. If he is doing it also the booting will stuck in the same phase of booting after 30-40 Mins as now the issue with USB.
