Exact same thing happened to my 2012 mini running 10.10.1 on an external SSD via USB3. There isn't supposed to be a progress bar on a standard boot.
I just blamed the super cheap, totally exposed USB3 board and/or cable. It just dangles off the back of the setup. It runs 24/7 so I was kind of expecting an issue at some point (it's my TV's computer). I just restarted and all was well. I think I did a SHIFT-boot first just in case. It's been fine since, but I expect it to happen again one day.
