I ran into the same problem of "Warning: unable to open an initial console."
I tried again specifying "linux console=ttyS0,9600" at the boot prompt and
get a message that it's loading Linux (from SILO I presume) but nothing
after that.
The ISO version I'm using is (date is rsynced, and sum is md5):
-rw-r--r-- 1 phil phil 423536640 Nov 3 02:03 install.iso
00327683e67498a91bb368d45759043e install.iso
I need to run errands this afternoon, but I'll be back this evening to pick
apart the ISO, ramdisk, etc., and see what's there.
Here's my serial console capture. Note that OpenBSD is loaded and I can't
get a PROM prompt via serial console initially because minicom's BREAK
function isn't correct (it does it, but hoses it's ability to talk to the
serial port when it does). So I let OpenBSD come up and halt it, then I
boot the cdrom. I leave the OpenBSD startup in here in case it might add
to information about my hardware.

Welcome to the Slackware Linux (v. -current) - SPARC edition!
If you need to pass extra parameters to the kernel, enter them at the prompt
below after one of the valid configuration names: ramdisk (to load a rootdisk
into memory and boot it), and mount (to boot an existing Linux partition).
NOTE: Most hardware is auto-detected without parameters. So, before assuming
your system requires parameters, try a few different bootdisks. :^)
Here are some examples (and more can be found in the BOOTING file):
ramdisk hdx=cyls,heads,sects,wpcom,irq (needed only if probing fails)
ramdisk hdx=cdrom (force detection of an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drive)
where hdx can be any of hda through hdh. Examples: hdc=1050,32,64 hdd=cdrom
If you would rather load the root/install disk from your second floppy drive:
ramdisk root=/dev/fd1
In a pinch, you can boot your Linux system with a command like:
mount root=/dev/hda1
DON'T SWITCH ANY DISKS YET! This prompt is just for entering extra parameters.
If you don't need to enter any parameters, hit ENTER to continue.
