lo0 not starting on boot

In 6.0 SECURITY, what starts up lo0?  It's not starting by default, and 
/etc/rc.d/netif has no effect on the interface.  I *believe* this is the 
cause of a problem I'm having with xinerama, but I can't seem to figure out 
how to get the loopback to come up on boot.  Any help would be appreciated.

I already have the following in /etc/rc.conf:
network_interfaces="lo0 bge0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"
