I said my Hail Mary's and installed Jeff's rescue system to internal flash. The dockstar is now capable of booting the rescue system from internal flash once again.
Whatever my prior issues were with mtd2, I figured I really didn't have much to lose even if a new flash attempt to that partition failed. Jeff's rescue system has also considerably better functionality than the original cloudengines firmware. I'm just glad I lucked out.
Thanks once again for your help bodhi, and thanks to Jeff and everybody else that did all the hard work on these kirkwood devices.
