Recent build changes have added a PT_NOTE entry to the kernel's
ELF header. A perfectly valid change, but Alpha's aboot loader
is none too bright about examining these headers.
The following patch to aboot-1.0_pre20040408.tar.bz2 makes it
so that only PT_LOAD entries are considered for loading, as well
as several other changes required to get the damned thing to
build again.
