Bew careful. Unless the board manufacturer also used the ELDk (and the
same version) to create these binaries and libraries, these are most
likely incompatible with the ELDK provided libraries.

You better rebuild all the stuff from the sources.

And does /dev/sda1 exist?

[This is BusyBox "mount", right? The "normal" mount command would
issue other error messages, like "mount: you must specify the
filesystem type" when the device does not exist or is not readable,
and "mount: mount point XXX does not exist" if the mount point is
inaccessable.]
