Yes, your thinking is right. angelboot does download the kernel and
ramdisk to the RAM. if you need both the kernel and the ramdisk to be
persistant, then you need to write them in the flash. For this, you need
to write all the three in the flash (bootloader, kernel, ramdisk).
for bootloader you could use blob.
and when you compile the kernel for blob, remember to switch off the angel
boot option in the config.
hope this helped.
