You will need to use the tri-state bridge and cfi memory controller. There are several examples of this on the DE2-115 system CD. I've seen a video demonstration as well, but I don't recall the title. I don't remember if the cfi flash can be used to store the FPGA configuration or only software for the embedded NIOS.
