It looks like we still don't enable the forth processing by default
(although it is compiled in by default).  That's probably a holdover
from the days when it would take 90-120 seconds to process all the
defaults stuff in forth mode on low-end arm boards.

You can enable it yourself using "cp loader.rc.sample loader.rc" in
the /boot directory.  Once you've done that it'll start reading your
loader.conf file.
