There's an extra partition on your EMMC...

/dev/mmcblk0p5 622721+ 884864 262144- 8388600 76 Unknown
What you should do is to delete /dev/mmcblk0p4 then delete /dev/mmcblk0p1 recreate /dev/mmcblk0p1 then assign it's filesystem as 0c or fat32 to avoid reboot loop using sfdisk or fdisk. But I prefer fdisk. It's much easier to do than sfdisk.

Nokia-N900:~# cp /media/mmc1/fdisk /usr/sbin
cp: cannot stat '/media/mmc1/fdisk': No such file or directory
Nokia-N900:~#
You must have a copy of fdisk in your external memory card. If your using windows you should put it in your memory card's absolute path..
Ex.
E:/
specifically you should type
cp /path/to/where/you/put/fdisk /usr/sbin
Anyways if you got fdisk working here's the step by step.

type root then enter
type fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 then enter
type d then enter
type 4 then enter
type d then enter
type 1 then enter
type n then enter
type p then enter
type 1 then enter
Hit enter twice
type t then enter
type 0c then enter
type w then enter
reboot your device
