ISO Booting with Grub 2 - Page 14:

booting from iso using grub2

http://superuser.com/questions/154133/grub-boot-from-is

this fixes the problem with not being able to find live disk media: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47076/usb-boot-problems

Remove this:

file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed

Add these:

live-media-path=/casper/ ignore_uuid

Full sample:

append boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz live-media-path=/casper/ quiet splash ignore_uuid -- If you don't want to edit every time you boot from USB, you can edit this file in USB: /syslinux/text.cfg"

Installing tinycore on a hard drive

http://blog.matchgenius.com/tiny-core-microcore-install-to-hdd-with-openssh/

make sure that you make the partition bootable
use grub2 instead so that you can boot from an iso later


sudo grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/sda1 /dev/sda1

edit the /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg file to look like this:

menuentry "Tinycore 3" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/core.gz
}
