dual boot ubuntu and tcl

mikshaw:
If your directory is located at the top level of a partition, and it uses a default name (tce, tclocal), you need only specify the partition.
If it is a subdirectory, as yours appears to be, you would include the directory  (even if it uses the default name, I think):  opt=sda1/tiny/opt
Then again, I wasn't aware that tc could mount a home or opt subdirectory.  If so, that's pretty cool.

maddoguk:
i have ubuntu 9.10 and I am trying to make it dual boot to TCL. I put the two files:

initrd.img-tinycore
vmlinuz-tinycore

I put these in /boot

I am running grub 2 but the uuid is the same as the ubuntu uuid i guess because its the same boot folder. What am I doing wrong? How do I force a new UUID. Do i need to create a parition and somehow force it. I am linux newbie.

any help really appreciated.

gerald_clark:
Why do you need a new UUID?
Just add the TC stanza to /boot/grub/menu.lst
Change hda5 to whatever your root partition is.

title Tiny Core Linux
  kernel /vmlinuz-tinycore tce=hda5/tce max_loop=256
  initrd /initrd.img-tinycore
