I also don't want something older.  BUT..

Slack 8 root floppy (color.gz) worked!  BUT...

The command line I used at boot was:

ramdisk floppy=thinkpad root=/dev/fd0

The previous error about the "Please set the root= option" triggered that 
thought.  Now I think I should go try that with Slack 10 boot and root disks.  
This I will now do.

I think you forgot the reference to the post.  :^)
