      Should I cross post this to the software support forum?

      I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing here.

        Try reflashing your CF card.

          I've tried that a number of times, but thanks for the tip.

            You're probably flashing the wrong image, the upgrade one rather than the full one.

              Should I be flashing the upgrade or the full?

                I'd say, try with a full image.
                Also double-check the size of it.
                Maybe you could just try with another (brand type) card.

                  I did think it might be the card, but this card has worked for 2.1. I'll try the full when I get home; if that doesn't work, I'll see about getting a second card to test with.

                  Thanks for the help.

                    I agree with cmb, it looks like you wrote out an upgrade image and not a full nanobsd image. So it doesn't have both OS slices and it's missing the config slice.

                    When decompressed, the 4GB full image should be ~4GB total. If you check the one you have, it's likely only half the size it should be.

                    That, or try a new card.

                      That was it. I'm a dum.

                        Not at all, you're like many of us here: learning in the real world by doing  ;)

                        One little thing that can help others: update the title in your first post to include "[Solved]"

                        Glad you got it working…..
