Did you look in the file /bootdisks/which.one on the Slackware CD? It has
this advice (actually from Slackware 3.4; my 3.5 CD isn't at hand):
"If you have no idea which SCSI controller your machine has, you can also
try the generic SCSI bootdisk "scsi.s". You can determine what controller
type you have by watching the boot messages. Then, you should make the
bootdisk that matches your controller and use that to install. (Since the
scsi.s kernel is loaded with SCSI drivers, it consumes quite a bit of memory
that the disks designed for a single SCSI controller do not)."
Since the Adaptac designation doesn't match any of the aha* bootdisks (at
least not on 3.4), this is the course I'd suggest. And this assumes you are
using the scsi interface for hard disk &/or CD-ROM -- I assume so but can't
actually be sure from what you posted.
