That won't help (looking at /boot/loader.rc) as my lua updated system
still has:

borg.lerctr.org /home/ler $ more /boot/loader.rc
\ Loader.rc
\ $FreeBSD: head/stand/i386/loader/loader.rc 331326 2018-03-21 22:01:51Z ke=
vans $
\
\ Includes additional commands
include /boot/loader.4th
include /boot/efi.4th
try-include /boot/loader.rc.local

\ Reads and processes loader.conf variables
initialize

maybe-efi-resizecons

\ Tests for password -- executes autoboot first if a password was defined
check-password

\ Load in the boot menu
include /boot/beastie.4th

\ Start the boot menu
beastie-start
borg.lerctr.org /home/ler $<Paste>

so it still looks forth'ish, but it's using lua.
