Finally have some un-distracted time

Yes, you are on the correct path with that solution.
You can boot from the installer and manually mount /dev/sda1, then copy
over a correct configuration.
You might also mount /dev/sda2 in order to bring a clean kernel over and
make sure all the files are correct. From the live disk:
Mount the relevant partitions....
$ mkdir /mnt/boot
$ mkdir /mnt/rootfs
Done.
$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
$ mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/rootfs
Done.
Mounted, now we cp the Linux kernel:
$ cp /mnt/rootfs/boot/vmlinuz-huge /mnt/boot/EFI/Slackware/vmlinuz
Done.
While I was there I ran rm -r on a directory /ubuntu.
Now, make sure your elilo.conf is correct, use the cat command and confirm
that it outputs the following text...
$ cat /mnt/boot/EFI/Slackware/elilo.conf
chooser=simple
delay=1
timeout=1
#
image=vmlinuz
label=vmlinuz
read-only
append="root=/dev/sda2 vga=normal ro"
If it says ANYTHING else, stop, and paste the output here.
Similar, but not exactly the same.
#cat /mnt/boot/EFI/Slackware/elilo.conf
chooser=simple
delay=1
timeout=1
#
image=vmlinuz-generic
label=slackware
initrd=initrd.gz
read-only
append="root=/dev/sda2 vga=normal ro"
image=vmlinuz-huge
label=slackware
read-only
append="root=/dev/sda2 vga=normal ro"
