            Bug ID: 235040
           Summary: Lua-based loader(8) does not pick up
                    /boot/loader.rc.local
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: danfe@FreeBSD.org

Since the default loader(8) interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua,
settings in /boot/loader.rc.local are no longer picked up.  This is useful,=
 for
example, to overwrite "gop" value in order to fix garbled screen when booti=
ng
on some laptop models (see bug #202309 for details).  Making loader.efi poi=
nt
back to loader_4th.efi fixes the issue.

grep(1) also suggests that Lua version is unaware about this file:

/usr/src/stand% grep -R loader.rc.local .
./i386/loader/loader.rc:try-include /boot/loader.rc.local
./forth/loader.rc:\ You should not edit this file! Put any overrides in
loader.rc.local
./forth/loader.rc:try-include /boot/loader.rc.local
