r337738 -> r337834: Forth loader OK; Lua loader says "BTX halted"

I'm tracking head/amd64 daily twice on each of two machines: my "build
machine" ("freebeast") and my laptop, each first using the traditional
Forth loader, then (on a different slice), the Lua loader.

Each is using BIOS and MBR (not UEFI; not GPT).

Yesterday's update was to r337738, and was uneventful for each of
the four environments.

Today's was to r337834, and was uneventful for the build machine (both
Forth and Lua loaders -- though there remains no means of interacting
with the loader on the build machine if it's booted using the Lua
loader).

The laptop had no issues using the Forth loader, but the boot process
was ... severely abbreviated ... using the Lua loader.

I don't have a serial consoloe on the laptop, so I snapped a photo; it
may be found at
<http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/head/r337834/BYX_halted.jpg>.

As the name suggests, the final message was:

BTX halted

at which point, I found no way to get the laptop to respond to anything
but a power cycle.

Additional information (including, e.g., a verbose dmesg.boot from the
laptop running:
