just to add to that; adding CF (or a harddisk for that matter) back on
the bootlist is not necessarily what you want to do. Question is, why
was it removed from the list in the first place. Might be worth going
back through the messages.log to see if there's any specific errors
related to the CF, or check the boot-messages (show system
boot-messages).
