I'll try that after I've installed a cdrom drive... At the meantime,
is there anything I can do to get to command prompt?
Such as dropping to command prompt when ram disk is finished
executing, prior to mounting the actual file system?

Did you change the grub line from root=LABEL=/ ? If not, try that. Also
I believe when you install a kernel, the initial ramdisk is built with
drivers based upon what controllers you have installed in the system. If
you move the hard disk to another machine it may not contain the
appropriate drivers.
There may be easier ways of doing it, but one solution that's worked for
me in the past is to boot off the CD/DVD in rescue mode, chroot
/mnt/sysimage then uninstall the kernel with rpm and then reinstall it,
ideally the same version. It should then rebuild the initial ramdisk
with the appropriate drivers. Note, it used to depend on the value of
the scsi_hostadapter settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to decide what
modules to use. I'm not sure if it still does but it might be worth
setting them to appropriate drivers for your sata/ata controllers.
