I recall seeing something similar, where I thought boot didn't complete, then discovered if I tap the 'enter' key, the login prompt appeared. I wasn't sure what caused that behavior, my guess is there may have been some error messages printed to my terminal, scrolling the login text up off the screen.This is routine on all my Debian installations since long before Bullseye, continuing in Trixie. What seems to be the case is that tty1 is specially handled by Debian, and it appears the boot messages stop before boot completes. However, when boot has reached multi-user.target (complete short of running X), switching to any of tty2-6 provides working shell prompts.
