Just out of curiosity, did you:

1) put force_fastreboot into /etc/system
2) reboot
3) conclude it doesn't work

or

1) put force_fastreboot into /etc/system
2) reboot 1st time
3) reboot 2nd time
4) conclude it doesn't work

The reason is that /etc/system only gets applied at system boot, so if
you've done the former, then your system hadn't yet pulled the new
setting in. On the second reboot, however, it should have.
