Well, I wouldn't call it broken.  It just doesn't contain
Forth support, so it won't work with the *.4th files
distributed with FreeBSD.  You should still be able to
boot a FreeBSD system with it, using a customized
loader.rc file.  I haven't tried that, though.

The src.conf(5) manual page clearly says that it disables
Forth support in the boot loader, so what did you expect?
Why did you disable it?

Best regards
