microcore_2.3RC3
roberts:
Therein lies the problem. I set that file immediately after mountpoint determination.
I wish I could replicate the issue here.
However, tc-config should not be identical between rc2 and rc3.
rc3 has the autoscanning for tclocal and notcloal sections removed.
But also note, that Tiny Core and Micro Core share the same tc-config so I would think that there would be other reports of Tiny Core failing on use of pendrives. Still I do not know how wide spread community testing of this or any RC is.
Still works for me on three test devices.
Perhaps if you rebuild using tc-config from rc2 and let me know.
I will continue to test at my ending hoping for a failure that I can diagnose.

I just installed tc 2.3rc3 on a usb stick using the usb installation tool and it boots and runs fine on my eeepc 900A.

Finally some progress...
The tc-config files in rc2 and rc3 are indeed different:
--- Code: ---$ ls -l /tmp/extract_rc3/etc/init.d/tc-config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17338 Sep 1 10:21 /tmp/extract_rc3/etc/init.d/tc-config
$ ls -l /tmp/extract_rc2/etc/init.d/tc-config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17742 Sep 1 10:21 /tmp/extract_rc2/etc/init.d/tc-config
--- End code ---
..I must have confused the files at one point or another.
When I replace tc-config in rc3 with the tc-config from rc2 everything works fine, so it would seem that there is something in the rc3 tc-config that stops things working for me.

I just started to look further into this. However, not too much time today
I am able to replicate your issue by using your specific boot codes. That's good, as now I have something to diagnose. So by process of elimination, dropping 'noswap' worked.
Try dropping noswap and see what happens. What I suspect is that wait $fstab is not being found.
The logic with that construct could be cleaned up. Will look further into tonight when I return,
Juanito:
That's it :)
When I drop "noswap" everything works as expected
