My suggestion is use the boot/root disk combo and get the 1.2.13 kernel up
and running first. Then make a boot diskette. When that checks out then
put a copy of vmlinuz along with all of the other loadlin files that came
with your Slackware into your dos directory (/dosc) in a subdirectory
called loadlin. Then you can go back to DOS, cd to c:\loadlin and run the
following at the command line:
C:loadlinx vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 [pass any necessary parameters]
The key here is to get the stable kernel installed and running. Then add
the loadlin feature.
