initrd means init ram disk, it is a file system loaded as the default file system, probably this file system contains an init script that starts the slackware installation.

There should be a proper initrd.img probably also in the boot directory.

i added to lilo.conf :
  image = /boot/vmlinuz
  label = install      initrd = /slackware/isolinux/initrd.img
  read-only

and lilo booted the slackware installation program .

is there anything wrong with what i did ?
