It should.

Just type as root:
mount /dev/sdbx /mnt # replace x with the good partition nember
mount --bind /dev  /mnt/dev
mount --bind /sys  /mnt/sys
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
chroot /mnt

the either:
pkgtool

or directly:
/var/log/setup/setup.80.makebootdisk

Only possible issue, a change in the naming of the removable devices,
then you would need to use UUIDs.

But why can't you boot directly Slackware 13???
