Luma3DS can be installed as a bootloader instead of boot9strap or fastboot3ds, but unless you exactly know what you're doing, you don't want it as it makes updating Luma3DS more difficult and removes some troubleshooting options as it ignores boot.firm on the root of your SD card if it exists. On this page, you will find instructions for going back to boot9strap. If Luma3DS is installed as a bootloader, Booted from SD/CTRNAND via FIRM0/1 will be displayed in yellow on the bottom screen in the Luma3DS configuration menu.
