That sounds reasonable.  But I don't do it that way.  I run a modified 
Slackware 15.0 system from a bootable flash drive.  I'm not saying that 
you should do what I do.  It is, after all, a lot of trouble.  And for 
what?  I have a system on bootable flash drive.  I can take it with me.  
It is (mostly) independent from my hardware.  It's fun.  Those are my 
reasons for using the generic kernel plus an initrd.gz.  I also use an 
fstab file that references devices by LABEL and a Grub boot loader that 
does the same.

And besides the trouble, it is antithetical to the foundations of 
Slackware - it is not KISS!

I just wanted to share ;)
