Tiny Core Base > CorePlus

change boot file location?

Hi,

Looking at the file isolinux.cfg, I notice the lines

KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=/boot/core.gz [options]

under each menu entry and I was wondering if this location can changed? And if so, what is the syntax?

What I want to achieve is this:

I have a laptop that can only be booted from CD (no HD installed, extensions are on an SD card, which is known as sda1 but is not a boot device). Rather than having to burn a new CD for every version of TC Plus, I was hoping to create a boot CD that points to a location on the card where vmlinuz and core.gz are stored. This way I could keep one boot CD for as long as the command line parameters remain valid, i.e. across several updates of TC.

Is that at all possible?

Many thanks for your advice.

Tricky...

You might want to look into "kexec" if there is a way.

Are you able to access your SD card from DOS?
In that case it would be feasable to boot a DOS CD and then use a DOS based Linux boot loader.

You might want to look at something like the "super grub2 disk" and see if it can be used as a CD based bootloader to boot Tiny Core off your SD card.   I haven't tried this myself.

hi

How did you confirm that your bios can not accept  sd cards at boot?
Would you link to your specifications please?
My preferred option is for you to have sd card bootable

2) what about having just a cd that enables other media.....I am thinking smart boot manager

its a bit old and I have not tested yet

I believe PLOP will do exactly what you are looking for
