Can't boot FC6 CD1 !?!?

Okay, here's a strange one. I'm trying to migrate a system from FC3 to
FC6. Everytime I try to boot FC6, disk 1, it seems to think about it for
a second and then dumps me into my FC3 GRUB setup.
At first, I suspected that the disk itself was corrupted or something
and for whatever reason wasn't being recognized as bootable. I booted it
quite easily on a Windows machine, however, and it comes up to the
standard boot prompt that every Fedora installation disk comes up to.
Then I suspected that the CD-ROM drive might be messed up, but I can
boot my current FC3 setup and it reads the install disk just fine. The
hardware seems fine.
So the question is, is there any reason that the FC6 CD-ROM boot loader
might be loading my FC3 GRUB??
Is there any way to force the FC6 CD to boot using GRUB manually? I'm
not a GRUB expert to any applicable commands would be great.
Anyway, very screwy. I'd like to upgrade, but I can't find a way to boot
the install disk! :-)
