I've not yet used Slackware, but I can't imagine that the default (or any!) install doesn't include a kernel! Make sure you are looking at the actual Slackware partition(s) and not at the installation disk's filesystem. If you have the Slackware "/" partition mounted at (for example) /mnt/hda1, then you need to look at /mnt/hda1/boot. If this directory is empty, my guess is that Slackware installed the /boot directory on its own partition (a common -- but not required -- way to do things). If so, Slackware would mount this partition at /boot when it booted.
If you still can't find anything, see if you can get to a GRUB command prompt from the live DVD. I
think you can do this by doing what you've already done (minus
grubconfig) and then typing
grub. The prompt should look like
grub>. If you can get to this prompt, type
and post the results. You can exit
grub with the command
quit.
EDIT: following my example above, you can look at /mnt/hda1/etc/fstab to look to see if Slackware will mount anything at /boot and if so what partition it will use.
