boot tcl from harddrive
ananix:
Hello i have installed TCL on a harddrive but i need some method of booting it straight from the same harddrive?
Does anyone one know how to install a boot loader and make the masterboot record call it?
I cant seem to get anything to work :(

sorry guys my procedure i think it is actualy working :/
Juanito:
Did you take a look at this:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:install_hd
ananix:
nope, that guide does not really fit my needs, and beside the TCL to harddrive installation is fine, it is only a mather of booting it.
The thing is i got it working but then i confused my self and generated some errors that is then persued... i could not do a fast test on the machine as it was now working so i startet to use a virtual one instead, the way i boot the USB on the virtual machine is to call a theird party bootloader that then calls the boot loader on a disk of choise. Aparently that theird party loader had a problem with loading from disk because when i removed it and made the virtual bios boot directly from the disk it worked.
Now only thing left is to completely delete everything on the physical machine and make sure it really does work.
Sorry for all the jitter :(
And thanks for your help everyone!

to end the threat with something usefull im gonna add this:
to install a grub in the master boot record all you have to do is to point at the boot directory located on your disk something like this "grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sda1 /dev/sda"
Ofcourse after you have copied the the boot folder to /mnt/sda1
