I don't know if this will help, but sometimes SBM gives me a disk error the first few times I try to boot from a CD-ROM. Just keep pressing ENTER and hopefully it will boot.

Otherwise, is your CD good? Has it worked elsewhere? You _did_ burn the image, not just copy the .iso file to a CD?

Also, I think you can get Slackware boot disk images off of the web site so you can boot off of those instead of the CD.

If you need help with any of these steps, let me know.
