I was able to build, install, and (start to -- not loader's fault)
boot my laptop; I have placed screenshots at
<http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/head/loader/>.

Some notes:
* For loader_1_lua.jpg, I had (reflexively) already hit "v" to boot
  verbosely, so "Verbose    :On" does NOT reflect the default.  On the
  other hand, "ACPI       :off" DOES reflect the default, which is
  opposite from the Forth loader (ref. loader_1_4th.jpg); I suspect that
  this warrants changing.

* The lower left corner of the box seems to have an odd artifact for the
  Lua loader.  I haven't looked, but suspect it will be easy to fix.

Peace,
david

The circus around that memo helps confirm that Mr. Trump is unfit for office.
