In core.cpio/etc/init.d/tc-config there are boot options - parameters (asign a value) and switches:
 waitusb lang kmap tz desktop ntpserver icons noicons user home tcvd opt swapfile resume host nfsmount tftplist httplist aoe nbd mydata pretce xvesa rsyslog blacklist iso
 nozswap nofstab nortc syslog noutc nodhcp text xonly superuser noswap secure protect cron xsetup laptop base showapps norestore noautologin pause

But not all boot options are listed in files TinyCore-7.2.iso/boot/isolinux/ files f1/f2/f3/f4 or /usr/share/doc/tc/bootOptions.txt
The missing options are: cde icons tcvd resume ntpserver nfsmount tftplist httplist aoe nbd pretce rsyslog nofstab nortc xonly

cde: read-only "tce" folder, like for CD/DVD
resume: partition to wake up from hibernate?
icons: icon manager name?
tcvd: loop-mount a ext2 formatted FILE as /dev/tcvd (storage) DEVICE, qemu?
nbd: network block device on server, qemu?;
aoe (ATA over Ethernet?)
ntpserver / nfsmount / tftplist / httplist: boot from network server
pretce: Preload drivers needed for tce/opt/home on lvm/RAID
rsyslog / nofstab / nortc /xonly : debugging ?

Could we have a new small file /boot/isolinux/f5 with them?

It only makes sense to have those options usable on a CD boot in those files.
The options you listed are not.

I tend to disagree with you, a little.. (it is like why have PXE file pxelinux.o in the iso/CD when you boot from CD)
How about to have them inside the original iso, but let`s say in /usr/share/doc/tc/bootOptions.txt?
It does not matter the file name neither the location. it matters to have ALL the possible boot options on one storage medium.

Maybe that medium could be the wiki?
