I was using the forth stuff (but not the beastie menu) with RPi and BB a
few months ago, back when you were first adding FDT support to the
loader.  I couldn't find a way to use the fdt command from forth-ish
config files, and I couldn't understand the existing forth code enough
to figure out how to plumb access to it with some new keyword or
something.  I had no problems loading modules and setting tuneables and
in general doing all the stuff with loader.conf on arm that I've been
doing on x86 for years.
