Already did. Known issue with Slackware 11 (see link below, specifically the quote beneath it). Find another way to boot, as you said floppy (I'd recommend sbootmgr.dsk image). As for my situation, the fact that they screwed the pooch on bootability irks me to the point I won't install it--my first interaction with your OS should not be a 3 hour treasure hunt to find out what is wrong. Instead I'm using debian for this particular machine.

It may boot on newer PCs but they broke something on this version to the point where an older BIOS won't even see the first (bootable) CD in the drive (10.2 works perfectly in the same drive). This has been widely reported but seems to be restricted to older PCs.
Between this and the fact that there are few real differences between it and 10.2, I won't recommend Slackware 11 or later until this is fixed.
