  Log:
  Fix autoboot. Now autoboot *always* show the correct kernel name. It
  gets the name from the environment variable kernelname, which is set
  when a kernel is loaded. For this reason, autoboot will _first_ try
  to load a kernel, and only proceed with the wait prompt after that
  succeeds. If it fails, it will abort immediately.
  
  While I understand some may think this behavior undesirable, I think
  it is, overall, the best thing to do, even if we do not consider the
  aesthetic issue. Notice that anyone using the default loader.rc
  already has the kernel loaded before autoboot.
  
  On unload, unset kernelname.
  
  Separate the code that tries to load a kernel from the list of options
  to the function loadakernel(). It is used by both boot() and
  autoboot().
