I believe, (its been a while since I installed Slackware) you just need to dd the boot disk. I don't think you even have to mount it (I could be wrong). For the color.gz "root" disk I think you have to start with a clean dos-formated disk and simply;
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy cp /mnt/cdrom/color.gz /mnt/floppy umount /mnt/floppy try that and see if it works!
