Hi,

Indeed, because reading loader.rc.local is a little bit of a rabbit hole. We
could try to have some limited support by trying to process loader.rc.local as
a series of loader commands, but the file is historically parsed as 4th so we
can't claim to completely support it.

The loader-independent way to do this is probably best done with the `exec`
loader.conf(5) variable. e.g.

exec="gop set 0"
exec="gop set 2"
...

but ideally we would have loader.conf(5) variables for these kinds of things to
trim down the interpreter-dependent things being done by a standard
sysadmin/user that isn't trying to modify core boot/menu behavior.
