I disagree. There was a  pretty  clear  error  message  above.  Don't
ignore this, it will bite you later.

Assuming that this is a mount builtin to the  busybox,  this  message
means  that  there  is  no such file as "/dev/mtdblock1" in your root
file system - exactly as the error message says.

What has a ramdisk to do with this?

What does "cat /proc/mtd" show? What are  the  kernel  boot  messages
look like?

Best regards,
