More testing reveals that -nographic has nothing to do with the
problem. The FC6 diskboot.img (which uses SYSLINUX) doesn't boot, even
without -nographic:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/images/diskboot.img
The FC6 boot.iso (which uses ISOLINUX) boots fine:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/images/boot.iso
as does diskboot.img with bios.bin 1.14 or earlier.
