close but most probably no, /dev/mtd5 looks like the correct one
see dmesg output here http://pastebin.ca/1610167
lines 47-75 and 154-159

So maybe, just maybe, flasher could flash copy of /dev/mtd5 as rootfs.

getty over serial is running

Mystery solved. There is clear bug in the script. While the comment above dd 
talks about reading it writes to /dev/ttyS0 creating 1 byte regular file in 
/dev.

#test if we can read ttyS0, we have serial console
if dd of=/dev/ttyS0 count=1 bs=1 if=/dev/zero ; then

So everybody should have getty running in latest FW.
Or did I change the script while sleeping?
