Finally some progress.

Added debug capabilities inside of KERNEL_ADD in board config, also specifying ttys0 serial speed of 115200, which works now. Added debugging through kexec -d call as well if DEBUG output activated in board config Now Tinycore stalls at ethernet init, loop is established and resized multiple times, so it seems that tinycore has what he was searching for to prepare normal boot options in memory. Investigating vga options and will output some info on PR
