Depending on how new your board is, the kernel source on the
web may not see your flash part correctly.  We had to get a
patched kernel tree from the vendor in order to build a kernel
that could see the on-board flash.

Somewhere in your boot messages there should be some lines from
the mtd driver that it found a device and these partitions on the
device, etc.  I don't see those lines from your output, so I'm
guessing the driver isn't recognizing the on-board flash.
