Wow, all that just to make a boot disk! Also in there is included the LILO error codes:
LI - The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map installer.

But i dont see how to fix this, if i can either fix lilo or make a boot disk then i think the sound will work (im not rebooting until i do one or the other, and hopefully make a boot disk)

You can boot either kernel anytime. That's why you keep your old one in /etc/lilo.conf, just incase something goes wrong.

You can use the slackware install cd as a bootdisk if your computer supports booting from cdrom.

How would the kernel on the CD help me fix my sound? Also there has to be some way for me to get mkbootdisk to work, and i am root:

bash-2.05b# whoami
root
bash-2.05b# mkbootdisk
bash: mkbootdisk: command not found

I found a way to make a boot disk using a gui program that starts when you type the command: makebootdisk
It asks for the location of my kernel, where would this be after i made all the changes?

When you use the cd as a bootdisk your not booting the kernel on the cd, your booting the kernel on your hard drive.

At the prompt (where you type 'bare.i'), type the following,
[code]
linux root=/dev/hd**
[/url]
Replace /dev/hd** with the correct location of your install.
