Where is your Reset Address pointed on the Nios II CPU Wizard (it should be pointed at the norflash's base address)? How are you programming your norflash?...your EPCS?

Use elf2flash and sof2flash, along with nios2-flash-programmer (or the Nios II Flash Programmer in the IDE) to program your flash content.
