installing slackware 8.0 with speakup

[Reinhard Stebner]

It echos the screen back.  I decided to bail out of the install and start
from scratch.  Now I am dealing with a system that will not boot.  I am
putting the boot floppy (the one linux asked me to ake).  I decided to put
lilo on a floppy.  When I got  to this option, it never prompted me for a
disk.  Will the boot floppy have it on it (again the one Linux asked me to
put in)?
