No no. Loader's prompt, where you type CMD's ... is out of context.
Normal loader's boot sequence should work with paths relative to loader 
binary itself.
I.e; Upon boot it would pull 'defaults/loader.conf' as it is relative to 
it, instead via current full path '/boot/defaults/loader.conf'

This isn't a current behaviour, but something that should be done.
