Description rotel 1998-08-29 23:30:01 UTC 
This patch addresses two problems:

 1) modload should fail more intelligently when the kernel has no
    symbols; I inadvertantly forgot the -d argument to strip
    when stripping down the kernel after a config -g and it
    took me a while to figure out what was happening. :)
    
 2) modload should use -N to specify the kernel file as per ps,
    fstat, ccdconfig, dmesg, vmstat, pstat, swapinfo, iostat,
    ncrcontrol, ipcs, netstat, nfsstat and w.  -A is provided
    for backwards compatability.
    
    (ahh, perfection)

How-To-Repeat: 
	strip -d /kernel
	modload -N /kernel /lkm/linux_mod.o

Does kldload need these changes, since modload is no more?
