Tiny Core Linux

I've done a usbinstall to internal flash storage and, as probably by design, when I reboot I no longer have the boot: prompt or the option to supply boot codes.
Is there another way I can specify noautologin or at the very least prevent user tc from logging in?
note: I do have another user account working so I shouldn't lock myself out.
-
Edit the file "extlinux.conf." Put noautologin (and any other boot codes) in the line which begins with "APPEND initrd=."
This is the case if you selected the Ext2 filesystem. I have not installed it using the others.
-
The internal flash filesystem is currently FAT16. I dunno if that matters.
But I can't seem to locate extlinux.conf on my usbinstall so far...
-
There will be a similar file with the FAT filesystem. I don't know what it is called.
The contents of extlinux.conf (Ext2 on USB drive) are something like:
DEFAULT tinycore
LABEL tinycore
KERNEL /tce/bzImage
APPEND initrd=/tce/tinycore.gz quiet max_loop=256 waitusb=5 tce=UUID="b647c07e-045b450ad1fd"
The contents of menu.lst in Grub (hard drive install) are something like:
title Tiny Core
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage quiet tce=sda1 home=sda1 opt=sda1 max_loop=256
initrd /boot/tinycore.gz
You want to find a file with something similar. Add noautologin to the line with the other boot codes.
-
the file is called syslinux.cfg or something like that

Yes, I found it in syslinux.cfg and added it to the end of the line which appears to be working. Thank you!
