Starting to...

I am using this: piCorePlayer v3.11 | linux 4.4.39-pcpCore_v7+ | piCore
v8.0 | Squeezelite v1.8.6-830.
I got piCore to tftboot once I had merged the contents of mmcblk01 with
the one from the /boot directory of an up-to-date Rasbpian image, except
for initramfs, kernel and cmdline/config.txt. In raspbian the kernel is
4.4.50 AFAIK, so I am not too surprised the SQ currently is not too
great (clips and drifts a lot), but it boots. I guess piCore will get
updated in due time.
I got pCP to work, by and large, simply by adding
"nfsmount=172.17.71.10:/export/12345abc/TCE" to cmdline.txt.
/export/12345abc/TCE contains all files from "/dev/mmcblk0p2". 12345abc
is the Pi's serial number.
I see that filetool.sh does what it takes, mydata.tgz is saved over
/mnt/nfs just fine.

What doesn't work yet is changes done to "/dev/mmcblk0p1" by pCP. I have
surmised a server setup where I export "/export/12345abc/BOOT", and the
contents of that directory are bind-mounted to /tftp/12345abc. So
normally you could update the boot partition from the client, and reboot
to the new config without further intervention on the server. This works
with Raspbian.

Do you have a suggestion as the best way to export the boot partition? 
After that, I've seen plenty of instances of "mmcblk0" within the
scripts contained in mydata.tgz, I guess a number of modifications will
be needed?
