Try this boot command:

fb800x600

NOT

dsl fb800x600

Then choose the "xfbdev" server if prompted.

I can't boot either, but I think it's a problem with the CD burn. I'll download it and burn again, but I got to wondering: what's the difference between the dsl.iso and dslsyslinux.iso? (And yup, I did search the forums and found nothing).

I guess what I'm wondering is, is the syslinux one an alternative, or some kind of addon?

It's there in the search...you may need to search farther back than the default, and use "AND" if you're seaching for multiple words.
