If you need help with this, then it is probably not something you should aim for...

I use console=/dev/null but some text also printed on screen, the images of this text attached to post.

I also saw the http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#bootcodes (http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#bootcodes)
I didn't find any bootcode for completely quiet boot.

Output of 1.png is produced by syslinux, so you would have to consult syslinux documentation.
2.png displays /etc/motd.

Thanks tinypoodle and curaga

That's ok on boot in VirtualBox, only 1.png (syslinux) message printed
But when I install tc on ssd and boot my laptop from that after syslinux texts a tinycore logo shown on the screen.
i surfed forum, It seems that I should recompile tinycore for removing syslinux message and tc logo.
Do you have another idea?

Tiny core has nothing to do with the syslinux message.

That, and you could possibly overwrite /etc/motd with an empty file from backup or from an additional initrd.

To disable the Tiny Core graphic that appears at the upper left corner during boot, you can add this boot code to your syslinux config file:

Code: [Select]

logo.nologo

Yes, vesafb vs. vga mode.
