Thanks for your reply. I will put them on the forum as well.

Here are the steps:

1. Download vmlinux-initramfs.elf 
(lede-17.01.4-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf) and use it as boot 
file.
2. DHCP didn't give IP Address. Had to ssh using IPv6 address. Or 
statically assigning an IP of 192.168.1.x to my machine.
3. scp lede-17.01.4-ar71xx-mikrotik-nand-large-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 
to the router.
4. sysupgrade -n 
lede-17.01.4-ar71xx-mikrotik-nand-large-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
5. Router reboots after upgrade

Where did my 20 MB of flash space go?
