I don't ever get to a prompt.  I've resolved it though, as follows:

Boot with a rescue disk.
mount the root partition I'm trying to get to.
chroot
grub-install '(hd0)'

grub-install reinstalls grub in the mbr.  Apparently, RH removed the 
previous one.  Wierd.  I told it not to install one, so it removes the 
one I've got???
