    Remove misleading "Not supported yet" message from amd64 boot

Hello,

In sys/arch/amd64/stand/libsa/cmd_i386.c, Xboot() prints
"Not supported yet" unconditionally, while still performing a
successful chainload via bootbuf().

Tested on bare metal and a VirtualBox MBR/BIOS VM. In both cases
the behavior is identical.

Before patch:
boot> machine boot hd0a
Not supported yet
booting...

After patch:
boot> machine boot hd0a
booting...

No functional change.

Patch is attached.

Regards,
