Is it possible to load the os from /dev/mmcblk01 (vfat) and not have a second linux ext4 partition?
I have my project running on the piCore and I wonder if I can do everything from the 1 partition. It could become an easy drag and drop to install the OS. Also Pi 3 supports network boot so it would be even better If I had no SD card in at all. But For now what do I need to do to load the tcz from vfat instead of ext4 ? Can I somehow do this with the config ? Or will I have to compile the source.
As for the network boot. I am willing to learn if its possible with piCore but I only heard about it so I don't know much myself.
Another question is where did the source code for 9.x dissapear? :'(

That would be useful for this.

Redirect to a sub folder instead of another partition.

Could the 'tcvd=' or cde boot options achieve loading 'everything from 1 partition'

the wiki also has a page on Netbooting !

piCore is residing on /dev/mmcblk0p1 only. You can delete /dev/mmc0blk0p2 and will boot fine, you can use it with a keyboard and a screen or via a serial console. mmcblk0p2 used to store extensions like ssh and mc and backup file. Extensions can be stored on mmcblk0p1 if you whish.
