May be...

Is the machine Velo 1?

I built the pbsdboot1.exe with Windows CE toolkit for VC++ 5.0.
With which I could choose build target Windows CE 1.01 or 2.00.
The binary which build for Windows CE 1.01 might not work on
Windows CE 1.0. I know that there was ancient toolkit, which was
called VC++ for Windows CE, though I have never seen it. A
program which compiled with the ancient toolkit might work on your
machine...

I feel like I heard of 'the other reasons' before. What's the matter? I
think you can pull out CF card containing CE image from the slot and
insert other one in boot sequence. Or you may put Windows CE 2.0
image and NetBSD image into one CF. Is this impossible?
