Help with persistant boot (USB or NAND) #1

I followed the instructions regarding tftp boot and successfully booted into OpenWRT using this image. However, I see that when I reboot the router it reverts to the original Marvell boot screen. The readme mentions using either USB booting for a persistent operating system or flashing to NAND. Could you add a bit on how to do either of these? The doozan.com post was a little tough to follow as someone new to OpenWRT.

I actually never tried it myself, but would be very interested to hear how it works out if you give it a go. USB booting is probably the easiest thing to try. See https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/extroot_configuration

When I have some more time, I'll give this a try and write up some intructions.
