2. Attach it to new VM and run it
3. Optionally install SSH for more comfortable installation process:
1. tce-load -iw openssh
2. sudo passwd tc
3. sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/openssh start
4. Create file system and mount it:
   tce-load -iw parted.tcz
   sudo parted /dev/sda mktable msdos
   sudo parted /dev/sda mkpart primary ext3 1% 99%
   sudo parted /dev/sda set 1 boot on
   mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
   sudo parted /dev/sda print
   sudo rebuildfstab
   mount /mnt/sda1
5. Install grub:
   tce-load -iw grub2.tcz
   sudo -s
   grub-install --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/mnt/sda1/boot /dev/sda
   mount /mnt/sr0/
   cp /mnt/sr0/boot/core.gz /mnt/sda1/boot/
   cp /mnt/sr0/boot/vmlinuz /mnt/sda1/boot/
6. Configure Grub:
1. vi /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg
2. Enter:
   set timeout=3
   menuentry "Tiny Core" {
    linux /boot/vmlinuz com1=9600,8n1 loglevel=3 user=tc console=ttyS0 console=tty0 noembed nomodeset tce=sda1 opt=sda1 home=sda1
    initrd /boot/core.gz
   }
3. Save file.
7. Prepare filesystem:
   mkdir -p /mnt/sda1/tce
   touch /mnt/sda1/tce/mydata.tgz
   mkdir -p /mnt/sda1/opt
   mkdir -p /mnt/sda1/home
   reboot
8. After reboot install openssh:
   tce-load -iw openssh
   sudo passwd tc
   sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/openssh start
9. Add some config to persistance.
