Title: tc-install not found
Post by: Marco Trapanese on June 22, 2011, 08:10:32 AM

Hello,

after some time I'm going to install tinycore on an embedded board.
I see there is an installer now. I'm reading here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/install.html

Anyway I don't understand how to start the installer. I read:

The guide assumes you've either booted the MultiCore CD with the install option, or have otherwise loaded the install starter pack (install.gz).

but I'm not able to load/run the installed.
What am I missing?

Thanks!
Marco

I'm following the install_hd guide.
I made three partitions:

- 500 MB boot
- 1000 MB swap
- 500 MB storage

when I reboot and use the tci option I get the following error:

kernel  init found try passing init= option to kernel

So I tried to pass the init=3 to the boot commands with no chance.
Is there something other to do that the documentation doesn't cover?


EDIT: I solved installing manually as usual. I don't know why I can boot tci

Only the multiboot CD has tci.

I know, in fact I downloaded the multicore one. Anyway I got the kernel panic error.

The init error indicates that you have not properly defined the location of tinycore.gz in your bootloader.

The isolinux.cfg on my 4.1 disk appears to called 'plus' rather than 'tci' so perhaps the name changed along the way somewhere but the wiki hasn't been updated?
