fastboot3DS is a firmware loader alternative to boot9strap. It offers some enhanced features compared to boot9strap such as the ability to chainload payloads, display splashes, backup/restore your NAND, and more. Although there is no issues with running fastboot3DS with modern CFW, most homebrew guides will assume you are running boot9strap which could make troubleshooting difficult if you are unsure of how fastboot3DS functions. If you would like to learn about fastboot3DS you can read more on it's wiki page, otherwise continue with this guide to move your setup to boot9strap.
