UPDATE: 
I guess it's not the MBR: 
* I can't "Boot from Hard Disk" using the F9 DVD. 
* Running system-config-boot, whatever it does, didn't help: I still get 
the same problem. 

Is there  a utility I can use to see what's actually there?  Do I need 
to "syslinux" the disk? 

Also, for amusement, I used the DVD to "Upgrade an existing 
installation".  This read my hard drive, chugged around for a few 
seconds (presumably deciding that everything was up-to-date), asked me 
to update my boot loader (I did) and then exited.  No change in the 
situation.  Should I do this again, but create a new bootloader?
