"boot0cfg: read /dev/ad1: Input/output error" using nanobsd

I'm running FreeBSD 7.0 on a soekris 4801 with an image built by nanobsd.
It's a small piece of headless hardware that boots from a compact flash
drive - no moving parts.
I wanted to update the operating system to 7.1 and install some more
packages on it, so I built a new image with nanobsd and uploaded it to the
second partition using nanobsd's updatep2 tool. The new image mounts
fine, but the last line of updatep2, "boot0cfg -s 2 -v ${NANO_DRIVE}"
fails with the message I've quoted in the subject line.
The machine boots fine, but I can't provoke any kind of response from
boot0cfg except for input/output errors. I'd like to make the machine
start booting from the second slice.
Any ideas?
