/proc/mtd (or dmesg) may have some info on what each flash partition is 
used for.

If they're not mountable just cat or dd them to a file. You can then 
run 'file' etc on them to find out more.

I'd be interested in the uboot config which is probably on one of the 
partitions. If it's anything like the arm NAS I have here, that should be 
readable using something like
    sudo cat /dev/mtd4ro | tr '\0' '\n' | less
IIRC the first chars code the file length or a checksum.

P.S. I've been told that our postal customs service has had a systems 
outage of about a week and a half affecting all parcel processing...
They hope to get through the backlog by the end of this week, but I'm not 
holding my breath.
