I haven't used slackware since about 1994, but generally it sounds like it's
not finding it's root partition. It might need something like
root=/dev/hdd
on the boot line.
Alternatively, if your system can boot off of CDs, you could probably save
yourself some trouble by using a distribution that comes on a bootable CD
(e.g., redhat, debian, etc).
