Is there such a thing as a CentOS rescue disk? Google gives many links to such a thing, but when I pursue them I do not get to an URL where I can actually download one.

Thanks, I'll try that.
I actually found that a Fedora-20 Live CD (on a USB stick) did the trick. After booting into the Troubleshoot option and then choosing "Boot from local disk" it actually found the current CentOS-6.5 system and booted into it.
I was quite surprised as the system had two other OSes on it - a Fedora-20 partition and an old CentOS partition. I assume the rescue found and used the setup in the /boot partition.
But if it can do this, it seems a pity that grub cannot offer at least an alternative to the flashing "-" it was showing me.
It also seems a pity that the CentOS Live CD does not offer a similar Troubleshooting option.
hi,
officially from centos project, they doesn't have this kind of thing. you can use centos installation dvd/cd for rescuing your system.
