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.
