   My guess is that you remember the boot line wrong. In the bootline above   
   you tell your kernel to use /dev/sdc1 as your root file system. As you   
   have a root file system you do not need any initrd which would have been   
   a compressed cpio archive containing your root file system. The "ro"   
   argument simply tells your kernel to initially mount your root file   
   system read only and does not in any way belong to the initrd variable.   
      
   If I remember right, the name of the compressed cpio archive is   
   initrd.img on the Slackware installation media.
