Unhappy No Rom

When I finish installing Slackware 8.1 and reboot, I get this horrible message of NO ROM, what's that???
I have a Pentium 200MMX, 4GB, 32 RAM

HELP!!! Tanx!

Bootable device = hard drive etc...problem could be with your boot loader....slackware is not for newbies. Get Mandrake or something.
