$ cat /mnt/sdc2/EFI/BOOT/grub/grub.cfg
loadfont unicode
insmod all_video

terminal_output gfxterm

search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root d4432cde-d21a-4d40-b44b-f097ce72cdba

You don't. You use the  Apps  utility for that. Click on the icon that looks like a screw head with a blue down arrow on it.
When the utility comes up:
Click  Apps->OnBoot Maintenance  to add/remove items in OnBoot.
Click  Apps->OnDemand Maintenance  to add/remove items in OnDemand.

You don't. ...

unless alternatively ( as mentioned in http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#bootcodes )

you could create a "xyz.lst" file and use the "lst=xyz.lst" option  mentioned in the above link

Code: (" from  tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#bootcodes ") [Select]

tinycore lst=yyy.lst                Load alternate static yyy.lst on boot
this would require adding the string : "lst=xyz.lst"
to the linux kernel options passed from *whatever* bootloader config file !
