I screwed up .. Again. I was attempting to make my machine connect to the network at my new job. Somehow I managed to turn on ipv6tables, now the boot hangs on attempting to load the ipv6tables. Where might I find that instruction and how do I delete it in rescue mode? Question 2, how can I change the GRUB boot order? I would like to have the 'other' operating system default (since that's where I earn my keep!)
TIA

Both are fixable from rescue.
In rescue mode it reminds you how to chroot:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
Now you can do anything you want:
# vi /etc/grub.conf and change the order
# chkconfig ip6tables off
And <CNTL>d to exit
All good.

I believe that the above only works in the current runlevel your currently into. I think you need to specify the level itself in this case, such as below..
chkconfig --level 35 ip6tables off

That is not true .

It wouold be easier to just change the value of the default option in grub.conf
# chkconfig ip6tables off
And <CNTL>d to exit
All good.

Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf. Either re-arrange the order, or change the default number (zero refers to the top entry).
