Oh I didn't get your last entry before now. I have nevr used a CFI flash myself. The steps 1-3 look ok but I think your step 4 is wrong. If you want to put your software in the CFI flash, then the flash2.flash file needs to be written into the CFI, not the EPCS. Your .pof file should only include the .sof with the FPGA design into the EPCS, as you need to write the software in the CFI. I don't know how to write a .flash file into a CFI but there should be some documentation about that somewhere.
