How to boot to 1024x768 resolution?

<< < (2/2)

Misalf:
You need to find out what boot loader is installed on your boot partition.

If you don't get any useful output from running the  grub  command, it doesn't mean that grub isn't installed on your boot partition but only that you don't have the files to install grub currently installed on your running OS.

Actually, Rich's advice to check for  extlinux.conf  makes the most sense, as syslinux is the default boot loader installed by Core when using tc-install, IIRC.
syslinux uses  extlinux.conf  by default if installed on ext2/3/4 filesystems but it also searches for  syslinux.conf  if the former wasn't found.
Also, boot loaders search in more than one directory for their config files.
Common places are, depending on the boot loader...
/
/boot
/boot/grub
/boot/extlinux
/grub
/extlinux
also depending on the boot loader...
menu.lst
grub.cfg
syslinux.conf
extlinux.conf

Try to find one of these or similar and check if a Tiny Core related entry is contained.

In that case, the full path of extlinux.conf is /mnt/sda1/tce/boot/extlinux.conf
