If your post-install configuration is minimal, I recommend you skip sysupgrade.
Instead just reflash it cleanly (factory.img), then re-apply your customization.
This option could work, since the customizations are mostly confined to the /etc/config directory at this point.
I'll look around for the reflashing instructions.
They're under http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto especially http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.sysupgrade#mtd I usually recommend doing the first install with TFTP, then subsequent reinstalls with mtd. The reason for the initial TFTP to be sure you can un-brick it. (This is mostly for those building custom OpenWRT images.) I usually do this (from memory, untested): ip address add 192.168.0.2 peer 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 while ! curl --upload-file foo.img tftp://192.168.0.1/ do sleep 1 done ...and then reboot the router while cabled directly to your laptop, plus any other steps to put it into TFTP mode. PS: you can also reflash from LuCI, the web UI. LuCI is installed by default on stable images. LuCI can be installed via opkg on other images.
