I've looked thoroughly, once, and I did not came across anything related. The serial number is stored in a non-filesystem area between kernel and rootfs (or was it between uboot and kernel? Not sure right now...). Running "strings" on the dump should show the data, it's stored as ASCII data (non-binary serial number).

In my case, it has not been registered yet (fresh out of the box), so no registration data.
Errm, don't they come pre-registered to the Amazon account which bought them?

Glad to hear it all worked, though :-)
