So, you think boot2 is fine and the CF image isn't right?
I kind of thought the boot2 wasn't right, and was trying
to find the real image in the wrong place.

How does boot2 know to look on the CF ?

So, I plopped into /usr/obj/nanobsd.avila-HEAD, where there are
these three files:
    _.disk.full
    _.disk.image1
    _.disk.image2

for which "file" says:

freebie# file _.disk.*

_.disk.full:   x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0xa5, active, starthead 1, startsector 63, 498897 sectors; partition 2: ID=0xa5, starthead 1, startsector 499023, 498897 sectors; partition 3: ID=0xa5, starthead 0, startsector 997920, 3024 sectors, code offset 0x31

_.disk.image1: Unix Fast File system [v1] (big-endian), last mounted on , last written at Tue May 12 12:58:59 2009, clean flag 1, number of blocks 498896, number of data blocks 490223, number of cylinder groups 20, block size 4096, fragment size 512, minimum percentage of free blocks 8, rotational delay 0ms, disk rotational speed 60rps, SPACE optimization

_.disk.image2: Unix Fast File system [v1] (big-endian), last mounted on , last written at Tue May 12 13:01:01 2009, clean flag 1, number of blocks 498896, number of data blocks 490223, number of cylinder groups 20, block size 4096, fragment size 512, minimum percentage of free blocks 8, rotational delay 0ms, disk rotational speed 60rps, SPACE optimization

A "strings" on that full disk image contains:
