the copy of asdf that i've been using has some fixes for
openmcl and can be found here:
   http://evins.net/downloads/asdf.lisp

the minimum you'll need is for asdf to be located somewhere
in your *module-search-path*, so that (require :asdf) will
find and load it.  my openmcl-init.lisp looks like this:

   (pushnew #4p"home:lib;openmcl;" *module-search-path* :test #'equal)
   (require :asdf)

there's a good asdf and asdf-install tutorial here:
   http://weitz.de/asdf-install/

you may also want to look at my require replacement for
openmcl that will integrate with asdf:

if you have further openmcl-specific problems getting slime
running, you can contact me off-list or find me on #lisp.
