You can use your Slackware install disc to boot your system

Just boot from it an follow the instructions it gives you:

In a pinch, you can boot your system from here with a command like:

boot: hugesmp.s root=/dev/sda1 rdinit= ro

In the example above, /dev/sda1 is the / Linux partition.

Once you're inside Slackware (Assuming you use LILO and it is already configured), run as root:

Code:

lilo

To reinstall the bootloader.
