moving home/tc (ramfs) to the /dev/sda1 home

How TCL can "move" the ram home (because home is in the ram) to the home hard disk(/dev/sda1)?
Something about home=hdXY and boot options? I have to put home=hdXY in menu.lst of grub? I don't understand that.
Thanks

You have to first install TC on a bootable device.
Then you can edit the boot options.

Yes! I have already installed on the hard disk! I only have to make a home/tc dir in the hd and modify the menu.lst of grub(but putting where the boot option)?

You either have home on the drive or you don't.
You can't have it both ways.

@gerard_clark: Yes, but seems that when init process start , by default restores the mydata.tgz file (maybe a bu*)

Remove 'home/tc' from /opt/.filetool.lst

Then will not be necessary to put norestore in grub? OK
Works! Thanks to all!

You don't want norestore because then it will not restore /opt or anything else.

I prefer to use
tce=sda1 home=sda1 opt=sda1 norestore
and not use backup. I think this is the best way to run Tiny Core on a hard drive.
I make new extensions for anything I want to save not in home, opt, or tce, such as printer setup.

Scatter install is possible, but not recommended. Do a forum search if you wish to try such.
