I don't know a whole lot about it. It's something called tinboot; as I recall, the (unlocked, ImCoKeMaN) spl is still in place, and it hands things off to tinboot. Your search-fu is probably as good as mine for finding out more info, but the source code is
here. Or contact dzo from xda-devs, as he's the one who got it working. (And he's the one responsible for nearly every commit to that git repo.)

thats where i am clueless - are they just dropping the android files into the imgfs partition? i had assumed an ext2 partition would need to be written into os.nb.

I'm clueless as well. I don't think anyone got that far. (I believe chamonix on #htc-linux is the one who had the most success, if you want to ask him).
Of course, the data.img file on the sd card is just an ext2 partition written to a file. So, as long as the file can be placed at a known offset in the nand, that shouldn't be too much trouble. (I'm saying 'shouldn't' as if I've got any command of the technical issues involved -- I don't. There might be huge issues I don't know about.)

thats the easy part. ive looked at the gsm raph lightweight rom that does this, didnt know a cdma version was out there yet.

That's the easy part for you. I wouldn't even know where to begin.
And, yeah, I was talking about the gsm raph lightweight rom. Sorry to be unclear on that. I don't believe there's a cdma version, and I don't think anyone from the cdma side of things has done any testing on any flashing issues. But reading from the nand works on cdma just as well as gsm (I know because the wifi mac address is already read from the nand).
