Anyone tried this?
I have, it worked for me but I had to install the factory then the sysupgrade image right after to keep it from resetting back to the linksys firmware after power cycling. I believe it's caused by the 2 boot partitions, the second install causes openwrt to install the sysupgrade onto the other partition.
I can also confirm that it works fine.
But:
-
I'm still having problems with making sure that it doesn't reboot into the original firmware.
More info about this here. -
Also important to know:
I needed to first flash it with the newest version of the (official) firmware and only then I could flash OpenWrt on top of it.

I had a power outage earlier this week and noticed that overwriting with sysupgrade didn't work. Software reboots worked fine but not cold boot from power.
I just tried the /etc/rc.local method in your other thread and it seems to work. Thanks for following up in this thread.
For those looking, run these commands then add them to the file above exit 0:
/rom/sbin/mtd unlock s_env
/rom/sbin/mtd erase s_env
