I use fdisk to set the active slice as workaround.

I don't think so. I've changed update/noupdate, packet/nopacket,
setdrv/nosetdrv without any success.

I use boot0sio all the time. I is the default in nanobsd.

# grep boot0sio /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd/nanobsd.sh
NANO_BOOTLOADER="boot/boot0sio"

I can reproduce the problem under KVM Emulation so I think it isn't
a soekris or CF problem. The problem is, that boot0cfg doesn't change
the flag for the active slice. In my example slice 2 is always flagged
as active.

Many thanks
Matthias
