...since the drive has that UUID

Mine looks like this:
--- Code: ---tce=UUID=aaab6273-4a6c-4118-8eb2-e31a9b31edb3 waitusb=10:UUID=aaab6273-4a6c-4118-8eb2-e31a9b31edb3

--- End code ---
All this to say:

1. the uuid is a lot longer than that you're suggesting
2. I'd start off with "tce=UUID=ABCD-1234 waitusb=10"

grandma:
I will see if I can get GRUB to pass that.

--- End quote ---

I use extlinux and it looks like this:
--- Code: ---label microcore
kernel /boot/bzImage
append initrd=/boot/microcore.gz quiet noswap tce=UUID=aaab6273-4a6c-4118-8eb2-e31a9b31edb3
waitusb=10:UUID=aaab6273-4a6c-4118-8eb2-e31a9b31edb3 host=boxdell syslog

--- End code ---
..so you just need to do something analogous to that.


--- Quote ---as for UUID - dos format is xxxx-xxxx - always - 30 years now - I used to register floppies of software I published on that key

--- End quote ---

I have the feeling dos may have truncated the full uuid and linux might not recognise the shortened version, but I could easily be wrong..

grandma:
can't find dosfstool

Juanito:

--- Quote from: grandma on April 11, 2011, 01:50:45 AM ---let me know if you find a dosfstool-3.t etc. - ain't on the repo download list...

--- End quote ---
Again, http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/dosfstools-3.tcz

..as said, you could give it a label in windows?


--- Quote ---boot says "ignoring persistent home request - ignoring persistent opt - invalid UUID etc. etc. - system frozen

--- End quote ---
As said, remove "home=" and "opt="

..and BTW, since you're managing to boot in tinycore, you can find the uuid with:
--- Code: ---$ blkid -s UUID /dev/sdb1
--- End code ---
