Hello,
the boot line is cut after ... qwert
So, the keyboard is not functioning.
How is it possible to have the whole boot line recognized?

kernel       /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdd1 tinycore quiet blacklist=snd_usb_audio loglevel=2 vga=789 tz=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 noscsi noacpi nozswap nomodeset nopat showapps home=hdd3 restore=hdd3 opt=hdd3 tce=hdd3 noapic ide_core.ignore_cable=1 swap=hdd2 host=OldBoy1 kmap=qwertz/de-latin1

Trim it?

Why root=/dev/hdd1?
Why tinycore?

Yeah, I think the limit is 256 chars. Checking on kernel docs, the limit is in your bootloader.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thanks.
So, I will
a) clean the unnecessary, fat and dirty codes
b) if a lot of codes are required, I will look at another boot loader if another one accept longer boot lines (today Grub legacy)

Additional trim: restore=hdd3  
If your mydata.tgz is in your tce directory tce=hdd3 then you can cut the restore=hdd3 option.
