you need to work out your partition the root is on on your system.
Thanks, man. I'll definitely give that a shot :-)

Edited my earlier post sdc should have been root=/dev/sdc3
Code:

Didn't pan out. Hopefully, my pics show up. Well, no pics for some reason, lol. I tried that and received this error:

error: disk 'sd2,3'not found.
Press any key to continue...

That was also wrong, I changed it in my last post from sd2,3 to hd2,3 . I must have been fat fingering the keyboard really bad earlier and didn't have a chance to go back and proofread my post till later on in the day. Sorry about that. It usually takes me a couple of rereads and edits after I initially post something to get it right.

make a few of them and just change the location if you do it right one will make the hit, like this.
Code:
menuentry "FreeBSD v12-p10" {
set root='(hd0,3)'
#chainloader +1
kfreebsd /boot/loader
}

#menuentry "FreeBSD 12.1 BETA3 A" {
#set root='(hd1,0)'
#chainloader +1
#kfreebsd /boot/loader
#}
 
#menuentry "FreeBSD 12.1 BETA3 B" {
#set root='(hd1,1)'
#kfreebsd /boot/loader
#chainloader +1
#}

 
#menuentry "FreeBSD 12.1 BETA3 C" {
#set root='(hd1,2)'
#chainloader +1
#kfreebsd /boot/loader
#}
then just remember which one it is. and remove the others, or comment them out, like I did. Just format them for Linux.

And all this takes place in the 40_custom file?

yes

just change the locations on each one
Code:
set root=(hd2,1)
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdc1

set root=(hd2,2)
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdc2

set root=(hd2,3)
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdc3

set root=(hd2,4)
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdc4


set root=(hd1,1)
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1
first HDD = 0 , second = 1 , third = 2 .. that part is zero based.

Quick (I hope, lol) question. This drive that I'm trying to install slack to, has 4 partitions total.
/dev/sdc1 is my boot partition
/dev/sdc/2 is my ubuntu install (which was installed first)
/dev/sdc3 is my botched slackware install (installed to /media/ace/c364ca81-25c0-42ed-9c46-88d61cb0870a/)
/dev/sdc4 is my swap partition for slackware

When I run fdisk /dev/sdc1, I see this: Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.33.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

When I run fdisk /dev/sdc2, I see this: The old ext4 signature will be removed by a write command.
Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x60195037.

When I run fdisk /dev/sdc3, I see the same thing: The old ext4 signature will be removed by a write command.
Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x60195037.

When I run /dev/sdc4, I see this: The old swap signature will be removed by a write command.
Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xdf18fd86.

Needless to say, I didn't write anything to the drive. My question is this: As far as I know, I have a GPT partition table. Said partition table is supposedly for all partitions, yes? So, why does fdisk tell me that the second and 3rd partitions have an unrecognized partition table? That makes absolutely no sense to me, whatsoever. I'm going to try and add some pics for clarification and hopefully, they show up :-/

P.S. this is the results of the slack install that I can't seem to boot without it erroring out

You run fdisk on a drive not a partition. sdc3 is the third partition on the third drive. The 3 is the partition number, the c indicates which drive.

Ok, that answers my question on the partition table situation. Thanks for that, CP. As to the 3 and the c, I've got that much under control (amazingly enough, lol). Here's my grub.cfg:
