I did the update per the fedoraproject.org wiki:
1.  yum update yum
2. yum clean all
3. yum --releasever=18 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync
4. rpm --rebuilddb


I removed "rhgb quiet" and here's where the bootup stalls:
           Starting Authorization Manager...
OK    Started Login Service.

Well, I wasn't able to find an F18 ISO (guess I wasn't asking Google nicely enough).  So, I tried a yum upgrade to F18.  Everything looked OK until I rebooted.  It gets to the blue bar that moves across the bottom (it says Fedora 18).  Then my PC reboots.  Normally, I would boot into recovery mode using the disk, but here I don't have one.

Any ideas how to diagnose/fix this?
