Thanks for your input,

I seems NanoBSD specific, while I have been trying different disk
geometrics and multiple cf-cards on NanoBSD I was not succesfull yet.

With TinyBSD and mfsBSD I am able to create bootable images, for WRAP 1C
and 2E. 

If I find a solution for NanoBSD, I 'll post it,

thanks,
Marten
