[SOLVED] Speeding up TC boot-up

[Ulysses_]

What bootcodes should be used to make the boot-up as fast as possible in the following config?

Remastered CD of TC is booted in a vmware VM with minimal hardware (no usb, no serial ports, no hard disk). Only the ability to reboot with "reboot -f" is needed (is that power management, acpi or something?)

Hi Ulysses_
You could try using the boot code   printk.time=1   and then look at the output from  dmesg. This
will give you timing information. If you see something that seems to take too long, check out
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
and see if there is a boot code to address it. Remove   printk.time=1   when you are done testing.

The   reboot   command is a part of   busybox   and is always present

Alright.  It turns out there are no especially long intervals in that log. 

Where is a complete list of boot codes, so as much as possible is disabled?

Hi Ulysses_
Kernel boot codes are at the link provided in my last post. Tinycore boot codes can be found in
the FAQ (see button at top of page), by going through  /etc/init.d/tc-config , pressing F2, F3, or F4
at the boot prompt....

look there http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,11235.0.html
for me, noisapnp and floppy=0,irq were good.
TC4.0.1 seems good for us..
