Mike,
grub.conf has the line default=1 in it. The complete file follows:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p6
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0
default=1
timeout=10

What I don't understand is why the System.map symbolic link is changed.
