There is a nanobsd built image on the compact flash card,
which is plugged in.

Yes.

Maybe. I think I successfully built that image using
the nanobsd.sh script with the G2348 kernel via the
tools/tools/nanobsd/gateworks/avila conf file.
Is there a tool that will take nanobsd's "full disk" image,
inspect it, and itemize what is really in it?

If possible, I specifically want to avoid the use of NFS in this
bootstrap process. That's why I think I am trying to use CF.
