It's not possible to use SYSLINUX without SeaBIOS. SYSLINUX is by
design and very much on purpose tightly coupled with legacy BIOS
interrupt services and legacy BIOS data structures.

The SYSLINUX author is also outspoken against coreboot, the principal
argument being that coreboot is bad because it works diferently than
legacy BIOS.
