I think you're reading the wrong manpage. 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.
