Good point. Actually, I believe Haden said he's doing this in a virtual machine. In that case, just give the guest a virtual serial port, and connect to it from the host with minicom/screen/telnet. I haven't used slackware for the last 11 years or about, so can't give you an exact boot sequence. However, when you get to a boot prompt of the boot loader, pass: console=ttyS0,115200 to the kernel, and you should hopefully be all set.
