Update of /cvsroot/src/sys/arch/alpha/stand/common
In directory nb00:/tmp/cvs-serv11492

Modified Files:
        loadfile.c 
Log Message:
Don't bother reading the ELF string table out of a stripped /netbsd[.gz].
In this case, all it has in it are the never-referenced printable names
for the ELF sections themselves. It's located at the end of the (ramdisk)
netbsd.gz file, so it is a very expensive seek and read for only 85 bytes.

Boot floppy load time:

        before: 5 minutes
        now:    3 minutes
