Log:
  handbook/boot: fix unload + load example
  
  The unload + load example in the 12.2.3 section doesn't seem to work.
  The original problem was reported in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D24960.
  
  Correct the example by using fully qualified paths since this is how it works
  now. Tested in 12.1, 12.2 and 13-current.
