setenv bootcmd 'your commands here' for multiple commands or e.g. setenv bootcmd bootm for a single one followed by saveenv to save the environment.
saveenv comes back with error no command found
Then the manufacturer has modified uboot. You could try simply help and see, if there's anything relevant, but it may also be that the manufacturer has disabled the ability to save the environment entirely from uboot's prompt.

Hmh, well, that's not very useful. There isn't much else you can do other than taking a full dump of uboot and searching the dump for words that look like they could be commands and it's not guaranteed that there even are any commands that help didn't already list.
I posted the dump of the serial output but not sure what to do with it really. If I could get some devs that know about LADYBUG uboot and how to get this going that would be awesome. I hate getting this far and have "nothing"
I was talking about dumping the actual uboot partition's contents, not the serial output.
ahh I can do that. How should I share the file?
Another option would be to boot openwrt again, install uboot-envtools, and try to change the uboot settings from within openwrt.
it is installed but now how do I use it to update the uboot?
Same way, printenv, setenv and saveenv.
Will need to make sure it points the the correct partition 1st, but I guess you can tell by simply running printenv from openwrt.
root@OpenWrt:/# printenv
/bin/ash: printenv: not found
root@OpenWrt:/#
Might be fw_printenv, etc, no openwrt device access atm, cannot check.
root@OpenWrt:/# fw_printenv
Cannot parse config file '/etc/fw_env.config': No such file or directory
root@OpenWrt:/#
I think this is your issue. Try adding
DEVICE_DTS_CONFIG := config@3
to target/linux/ipq40xx/image/generic.mk. Either put it in the mr33 section or create a new one for the mr74.
I'm not actually building the image. I am using premade images from a mr33 that has openwrt on it. You would have to walk me thru this because I am very new to this level of openwrt and embedded devices
