Slackware CD won't boot!

[crobusa]

I'm trying out different distro's of linux to see which one I like best. I'm using a 500mhz P3 for my setup. It was able to boot off the red hat cd I burned just fine, but it won't boot my Slackware CD. (I tested it on another machine and sucessfully booted the cd.)

Now I've downloaded a bare.i file and wrote the image to a floppy. What command at the boot menu will let it continue with the CD installation? I've tried:
mount root=/dev/cdrom
mount root=/dev/hdc
ramdisk root=/dev/cdrom
ramdisk root=/dev/hdc

I either get some =init back to kernel and a panic or a can't find ramdisk and panic.
Thanks for your help.

you need to make a few more floppies, look on Cd, for a folder named root disk, files are install 1-5, these load up the ramdisk, into memory so the installer can set up. your first disk is OK, bare.I is the default kernel image. just make the other 5.
