OK, minor problem, easily fixed. (You did however force me to read the 
code for slattach. :) )
Grab the slip.o and slhc.o modules from 
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net/rule/slinky/MODULES/kernel/drivers/net/
Put them on a floppy (disk2 should be fine) and load them before using 
slattach. (slhc should be loaded first)
I just got it working here using the slinky disks.
