You can mount the slinky boot image as a loop device:
        mount -t vfat /path/to/slinky-v02.3.img /mnt -o loop
Then copy the needed files:
            cd /mnt
            ls
(output should be:
    boot.msg ldlinux.sys rootfs.gz syslinux.cfg vmlinuz )
           cp vmlinuz rootfs.gz   /target/dir
Then 
        (from  /target/dir after booting into DOS)
        loadlin vmlinuz initrd=rootfs.gz root=/dev/ram0

HTH,
