is boot option tce=sda2 possible when it's NTFS?

Hello,
with the right extensions it is possible to access to NTFS drives from tinycore.
Now I wonder if it is possible to load the system from a permanent NTFS drive.
I am able to do that with FAT32 but I do not know about NTFS. I fear not. Am I right?

Requires remastering.

Have a look at this thread. Unfortunately I have not used it myself, so I don't have first hand experience, but the approach sounded OK.

I was planning for myself to use a bit a different way, but then got sidetracked into something else, so I'll have to pick it up at some stage in the future.

Another TC member has done work on remastering which might be what you're after.

The Full Core is a remaster of Tiny Core Linux with the focus on two things:

- providing an alternative base image containing NTFS support, so Tiny Core Linux or Micro Core Linux can be installed in a Windows system without repartitioning...
...The remaster is done automatically using a script that can be also downloaded...
