A loader command is being issued inside the loader ("_the_ loader"), i. e., the thing with the "Ok" prompt (where you can load and unload kernels and modules). :-) See "man 8 loader" for details. At system reboot, escaping from the menu (I don't use it, so I don't know how), or simply pressing the space bar a few times will drop you to the loader prompt where the "gop list" command can be used, and a specific mode can be set for further booting. See the following thread for inspiration: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/53150/ Note that the particular gop command won't be available on non-recent versions, like FreeBSD 10.
