and as for figuring which partition was mounted where, once you
find your root partition, locate <mount>/etc/fstab, and it should

:
Trying to CREATE A CRONTAB FOR THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH? Best
to put all the logic within the crontab itself (a Good Thing,
since you then only have to look in one place to find it):
1 0 28-31 * * [ "$(date +%d -d +1day)" -eq "1" ] && /path/to/script args
