Yeah, it sounds like you have a valid CF card then.

So back to redboot ...

The fact that this, and the disks command doesn't work would
lead me to believe that redboot might not understand ext2.
Is there any way to determine what filesystems redboot
was compiled to understand?

Perhaps the original poster of this method had rebuilt and
re-flashed his version of redboot ...

You could try tftping the kernel as a sanity check ...
