I haven't done this since Slackware 11 for a client, but at the time the Slackware kernels didn't have the Xen guest extension. So I was never able to complete an emulated CD-based installation ... [1]
So, the last time I ran Slackware as a domu I think I ran pkgtool with a different target dest: to the domu disk mounted in the dom0. Like installing Debian/Ubuntu with debootstrap. And then I booted off a custom-built kernel located the host (no pygrub). ... except I can't remember how I would have gotten pkgtool on my non-Slackware dom0 ... it's also possible that I did such an installation on a loop-mounted disk image on a Slackware installation, and then copied that image over and dd-ed it to my domu's disk. (Even tarballing it over would work fine if you have the right options, though I suspect I went the dd route.)
YMMV since it's been years since I did this, it but could give you some other avenues to try besides CD-based install.

[1] I typically avoid emulated CD installs anyhow because they are tedious (hard to automate/script). I prefer some sort of installation from the host: debootstrap, Gentoo untar/chroot. I guess it breaks down with CentOS guests where I don't exactly do this: instead of using a CD, I boot to os/$arch/images/xen/{vmlinuz,initrd.img} with kickstart options. I think there was some tool more like debootstrap for this I looked at several years ago (called "rope"?) but it was unmaintained at the time.
