Title: How right boot TinyCore.iso with Grub4Dos?
Post by: nb on April 24, 2017, 02:28:57 AM

Loading stopped in tc@box:~$ prompt.

Tried:
title TinyCore Linux 8.0 x86
find --set-root /ISO/TinyCore-current.iso
map --mem (hd1,3)/ISO/TinyCore-current.iso (0xff)
map --hook
chainloader (0xff)

title TinyCore Linux 8.0 x86
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ISO/TinyCore-current.iso
map --mem (hd1,3)/ISO/TinyCore-current.iso (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz boot=boot iso-scan/filename=TinyCore-current.iso persistent vga=792 lang=ru_RU.UTF-8 kmap=qwerty/ruwin_ct_sh-UTF-8 nofirewire nopcmcia cde
initrd /boot/core.gz
boot

You're basically there, but it didn't manage to find the GUI which is in the "cde" directory on a real CD device.

As an alternative you should be able to download and install that with these commands...

tce-load -wi Xprogs Xvesa aterm flwm_topside wbar
startx

But until you add "tce=sda1" or similar option for a persistent store they probably won't survive a reboot.

use syslinux memdisk

Code: [Select]

title  CorePlus-16.1.iso memdisk cde>tce tab edit boot options add waitusb=5 tce=sda1/boot/coreplus/tce noutc
root (hd0,0)
# find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /iso/CorePlus-16.1.is
kernel /img/memdisk  raw
 initrd /iso/CorepLUS-16.1.iso
i keep iso on 1st partition in /iso folder
can use the root or search line
