That has been fixed (for me, at least).  My last two build/smoke-tests
were at r329517 and r329561; I believe that r329366 was the fix for ACPI
detection/setting.

IIUC, that's merely an informational message, not an error.  (None of my
systems have a /boot/loader.conf.local, either.)

And the Lua loader permits kernel selection, as well (as the Forth
laoder has).

That has also been fixed for me (as of r329517).
