TinyCore64 on VirtualBox 6.1.30 always has "failed on waitforX"

Hello,
I'm a 48 year veteran of OS development and have been developing custom embedded Linux systems for over twenty years. I routinely use Yocto and Buildroot in addition to also doing hardware design.

I recently downloaded TinyCore 12 and found it more than acceptable for a non-embedded project coming up but want a little more performance so downloaded Tinycore64, the complete version. I setup Tinycore64 12, the same as Tinycore 12, and have not been able to get the system to boot properly yet.

I am using VirtualBox 6.1.30 on Windows 10.0.19044 and there are three issues that are shown with the attached screen captures. The first issue throws a "Wrong EFI Loader Signature". The problem here is that I have not checked the UEFI box, so it appears there may be something wrong with the boot signature created by Tinycore64. The second issue is a mouse menu that is shown in screen capture 2. I have tried every mouse type available in VirtualBox, and this menu comes up no matter what. And finally, as shown in Screen capture three, it ends after a long delay with "failed on waitforX' error before dumping me out to the standard Linux user prompt.

I also have QEMU installed on this Windows machine and plan on giving it a try next.

Regards and Happy New Year

Juanito:
You could try downloading/loading the Xorg-7.7 extension from the prompt and then startx.

curaga:
The first message is expected. It's just the kernel saying you booted using MBR, not EFI.

Thank you,
I trying with Xorg 7.7 in a few minutes. And thanks for letting me know the EFI error is normal. I'll let you know how the Xorg download goes.

Sincerely

I must be missing something here. Since I get dumped into text mode, there is no clear way to install Xorg 7.7. Do I run tc-install on the booted system? Or is there a text version of Apps? Even more important, is there a document that covers booting and switching from GUI -> Text Mode Apps install?

Thank you.
