Boot OE from a CompactFlash card

I found http://docwiki.gumstix.org/index.php/Root_filesystems#Using_the_CompactFlash_Card_as_the_Root_Filesystem
for booting from a CF card. fw_printenv shows this:

bootcmd=icache on; setenv stderr nulldev; setenv stdout nulldev; if
pinit on && fatload ide 0 a2000000 gumstix-factory.script; then setenv
stdout serial; setenv stderr serial; echo Found gumstix-factory.script
on CF...; autoscr; else if mmcinit && fatload mmc 0 a2000000
gumstix-factory.script; then setenv stdout serial; setenv stderr
serial; echo Found gumstix-factory.script on MMC...; autoscr; else
setenv stdout serial; setenv stderr serial; fsload && bootm; fi; fi

That looks the same as the one on the wiki page, so my first question
is just to confirm, is it already looking at the CF card for a kernel
and file system to boot with? Second, where does the kernel and file
system image need to go?
