I've just had a look at loader(8) and can't really see what you'd want to improve. Can you confirm that your loader.8 DESCRIPTION starts with "The program called loader is the third stage of FreeBSD's three stage bootstrap. It is a BTX client linked statically to libstand(3) and usually located in the directory /boot." If so, then did you try the autoboot_delay option? Have you noticed the loader.conf(5) manpage? I'm pretty sure Mr Sobral's done a fairly good job with the documentation for the new boot loader. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
