Log:
  x86 boot.8: Remove obsolescent non-loader x86 boot documentation
  
  x86 boot uses loader(8) and the boot2-direct-to-kernel process is not
  supported.  Remove the documentation, which doesn't document a working
  process and leads to confusion.

 This third stage provides more sophisticated control over the booting
 process than it is possible to achieve in the boot blocks, which are
 constrained by occupying limited fixed space on a given disk or slice.
