I now think I have most of what I had in mind for this install.  However, I 
cannot get LILO to boot from the hard drive.  After a few attempts a 
different things this is what I ended up with:

20MB swap partition in hda1
410+MB ext2 partition in hda2
LILO was auto configured in Slack setup and written to the MBR.

I had told setup to write it to the superblock of the / partition in a 
previous attempt but that gave nothing but cryptic "I90234" number codes on 
the screen that I assume were from the BIOS.  The above configuration will 
print "LI" of the "LILO version...." message but stays frozen at that point.

I'll go research but if anyone has a quick answer from experience, I'd 
appreciate it.  I'm a GRUB boot loader guy myself but that is not the easy 
option here.

BTW, by booting with the original boot disk, I can successfully start up the 
hard drive installation with the command "mount root=/dev/hda2" so I think 
everything is good except the "LI" boot hang.
