Hi Arno,
copy lualatex.ini to your current working directory, rename it to
myformat.ini and run

  luatex -ini --progname=lualatex myformat.ini

Create a symlink myformat -> luatex in the bin directory.

If this works, add your stuff to myformat.ini and create the format
file again.

Regards,
  Reinhard
