FWIW here are my partition table and the cmdline (which gives the PMON
version) of my lemote yeelong:
$ cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
3 0 156290904 hda
3 1 58605088 hda1
3 2 1052257 hda2
3 3 57560895 hda3
3 4 1 hda4
3 5 19535008 hda5
$ cat /proc/cmdline
console=tty no_auto_cmd root=/dev/hda5 PMON_VER=LM8089-1.3.5
EC_VER=LM8089-PQ1D02-1.20-081225151210
