Angry need a floppy to finish slackware linux installation? I don't have one!

so I installed the first two discs of slackware, then it asks you for a bootdisk to put in drive A, first of all I do not have a floppy drive, is there a way to get around this, when I boot my harddrive, all i get is "GRUB" nothing else, cant type, how do I finish this install?

Reinstall Slackware. There is an option to not make a floppy.
I run Slackware in VMware, and I don't have a floppy drive. So I just skipped that (there should be a part in the install with a "Skip" option.)

where do you skip making the floppy???

on the slackware website, it says you can, but you have to download a loadin or something, how do I do that when I do not have an OS installed?
