Unconfirmed if this is the result of a previous attempt to mount that is "stuck" in mtab.* If booted from the USB flash drive, then packages installed by ipkg will go on the usb drive anyway. If the system boots failover to the internal flash, that package will be absent.If everything went alright, you will not have to change your root password, and when you execute a 'ipkg list' you will see all of the packages from the database, which would otherwise have been absent. Use 'ipkg status' to show installed packages.
