From the /rootdisks/README:
If you are unable to boot the Slackware installation CD directly, you'll
need create these floppy disks in order to load the installer. In the past,
there's only been one rootdisk floppy called "color.gz", but now there are
5 floppy images, and you'll need all five of them. The reason for this is
that the size of the installer image after compression has exceeded 1.44MB,
and the kernel can either load a compressed rootdisk image, or an uncompressed
one that spans multiple floppy images.
