Solution for FreeBSD booting errors "Can not open /boot/lua/loader.lua"

Intel iMac 2019, 27", i9-9900K, DDR4 64GB

I created a virtual machine with "other->FreeBSD", and I tried to boot with FreeBSD-13.1, the boot loader printed an error "Can not open /boot/lua/loader.lua".

I tried again with creating a virtual machien with "other->other", setting "BIOS" to "64-bit EFI", and the probem was solved. I think there is a problem with FreeBSD template in Parallels desktop that uses "Legacy Bios"

Dear developers, I would like to ask you to check FreeBSD virtua machine tempelate and see if it can be solved by changing BIOS to 64-bit EFI.
