It works, but you probably need to add raw:

LINUX memdisk-iso
APPEND iso raw
INITRD /g4u.iso

I "renamed" the iso booting capable memdisk to memdisk-iso (isn't in the main Syslinux trunk yet).

Of course it doesn't work, it should be:
APPEND iso initrd=iso/nordahl.iso

The initrd= parameter is the reason why if prefer the first syntax,
because I did forget to add initrd= thing several times in the past .
