Problem using bootcode extension tce=hda1 (solved)
« on: May 02, 2010, 07:18:52 AM »
If I have read the help files correctly the parameter tce=hda1 used on the boot line will create a directory called tce and that the applications will be stored in this folder. On subsequent boot the system will automatically read the contents and load the programs. My problem is that my system does not seem to create that directory.

Have I got this idea wrong or am I missing something?

your HD may be sda1 instead of hda1. Have a look in /etc/fstab.

/etc/fstab says
/dev/hda /mnt/hda auto noauto,users,exec 0 0 # Added by TC
 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ext3 noauto,users,exec,relatime 0 0 # Added by TC

with entries for /dev/fd0 and /dev/hdc.

Thanks

Which version of TC? From your fstab it looks like an older one.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

At boot screen says TinyCore _2.4.1 using Kernel 2.6.29.1.
