I tried the raspberry pi distribution at rpi3.fatdog.eu. The slackware installer works fine till the select target and source locations. When the installation starts it just shows a few lines of messages and then said the installation is done. Too bad the messages goes too fast and I can't see them.

Did anyone know what is wrong? How can I proceed?
Which version of Slackware ARM are you wanting to install and what did you select as your source media?
If you've used a USB memory stick then select "Install from a Slackware USB stick" and make sure the USB stick containing Slackware ARM is plugged in. It should be auto-detected if Slackware ARM is in the root. If Slackware ARM is not in the root of the USB stick then select "Install from pre-mounted directory" and make sure you have already mounted that directory on your system which contains Slackware ARM.
If you are using a http/ftp server as your source media then select "Install from http/ftp server" and use an existing server. For example, to install Slackware ARM current:
I suspect you have made an error somewhere when you've specified the path to your source media, or you've not mounted the Slackware source directory correctly.
Yes, I have done everything mentioned in the home pages
1. create the swap partition
2. create the Linux partition
3. Add swap
4. Add Linux partition, format as EXT4
5. Mount partition 1 as /boot
6. Select source partition (NFS)
7. Install everything
8. Oops
Try another microSD card other than the one(s) you have used. That's the only suggestion I can offer considering you seem to have done everything required correctly in order to install Slackware ARM.
Finally, I got the error messages from the screen, capture the video and see them frame by frame.
First, the error is
/usr/bin/setup/setup: line 340: /mnt/etc/fstab: No such file or directory
About 10 of this line appears.
I then copy the /etc/fstab to /mnt/etc/fstab, and here it comes
chmod: /mnt/tmp: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/setup/Setconfig: line 53: /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.keymap: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/setup/Setconfig: line 54: /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.keymap: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/setup/Setconfig: line 56: /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.keymap: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/setup/Setconfig: line 57: /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.keymap: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/setup/Setconfig: line 58: /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.keymap: No such file or directory
chmod: /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.keymap: No such file or directory
