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

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"

The second line should be unncessicary since it's already in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf. Unless you have a good reason for it, I'd
drop the first list as well. It's quite unnecessicary in most cases.
There's clearly something weirdly broked on your system.
