The board.new.pcb only contains the new elements, which you already 
have verified. The second step is to add them to board.pcb.

To add them to your board, run "pcb board.pcb" and then click the menu 
item "File->Load layout data to the paste-buffer", it will then open a 
file selection window. In its "Files" box, click board.new.pcb, and 
then ok. You now in "buffer" tool mode, to place the components, click 
somewhere where there is free space and then press F11 to get into 
"arrow" tool mode so can move the newly placed components.

Using slot=2 only works for symbol files that has numslots and slotdef 
attributes.

To see how it works, open an empty design like:
 gschem &
 press i to open the component browser
 in the box down left named "Filter:", enter 7400-1.sym
 in the bigger box above the filter, click on the file 7400-1.sym
 then you will se the symbol in the "Preview" box to the right
 below the preview box is an "Attributes" box
 in it you can see the attributes:
  slot=1
  numslots=4
  slotdef=1:1,2,3
  slotdef=2:4,5,6
  slotdef=3:9,10,8
  slotdef=4:12,13,11
 as you know, at least if you work with them, a 7400 contains four nand 
  gates, but the preview only shows you one
 to use all four gates you need to have four of thoose symbols, but 
  each with a different "slot=" number, and thoose four need to have 
  the same refdes
 the number you can use the slot number is "1" to a the maximum stated
  by numslots, "4" in this case, and you also need to have that many
  "slotdef" attributes

. So to use slot=2 for your connector you need learn from the 
  7400-1.sym, and remake the connector symbol into a slotted symbol
. the reason you only get one connector, is that the connector symbol 
  doesn't have thoose slot things that 7400-1 have, and because the two 
  symbols have the same refdes; same refdes == same physical package

I cannot help you with that since I don't have your file board.pcb, 
sorry.
