in the absence of of *someone who good understand dCore* (and can explain it! ;- )
 perhaps??
the other topics/post in `dCore forum section.`
can provide a/some insight ?

of those who previously tried to use/understand dcore ...

kircanov:
If I understand correctly there is no way to install via netboot. So the Tiny dCore system is located in RAM memory, so until I want to install it, I will need to download the necessary boot files from the official site via WGET. vmlinuz, dCore-[os].gs, boot, etc.. If possible link from CD or USB installation source. But it is not .ISO format, but unpacked. Can someone provided source from Bionic or Buster.

Thank you...

That's  vmlinuz-[os]  and  dCore-[os].gz.

You can find the bionic, buster, focal, and stretch directories here:

anyway but i can't manage to install and boot dCore from local harddisk.

here are the steps I use (CD installation) disk 6gb (783):
sudo fdisk /dev/sda

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
sudo rebuildfstab
mount /mnt/sda1
sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1/boot

mount /mnt/sr0
ls /mnt/sr0
sudo cp -p /mnt/sr0/* /mnt/sda1/boot

Install a bootloader
----------------------------------
sce - import e2fsprogs
sce - load e2fsprogs
sudo e2label /dev/sda1 "dCore"
sudo rebuildfstab
sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1/boot/extlinux
sce-import extlinux
sce-load extlinux
sudo extlinux --install /mnt/sda1/boot/extlinux
sudo dd if=/usr/lib/EXTLINUX/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda

Create a bootloader configuration file
-------------------------------------------------- --------
cd /mnt/sda1/boot/extlinux
sudo vi extlinux.conf

default dCore
label dCore
kernel /boot/vmlinuzbuster64
append initrd=/boot/dCorebuster64.gz tce=sda1

tce-setdrive
 selected /mnt/sda1

backup

sudo poweroff

removing CD image and starting the VM but without success

patrikg:
Is this write off your settings ?
So you missed some part in the syslinux conf file.
Shouldn't it be "initrd" on one line and "append" on another line with more kernel args like root=/dev/sda1 and so on.

 Something like this:

--- Code: ---TIMEOUT 30
DEFAULT tinycore

MENU TITLE Boot Menu

LABEL tinycore
      MENU LABEL Tiny Core
      LINUX /boot/vmlinuzbuster64
      INITRD /boot/dCorebuster64.gz
      APPEND root=/dev/sda1 tce=sda1
--- End code ---
