Jared,
Edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf file as superuser.
default=0
timeout=5
change default to the kernel version or OS that you
want to be as your default.
change timeout to something that you are comfortable
with. timeout=5 that is 5 seconds for you to choose
the one that you want till the default loads.
[root at localhost olivares]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# 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 (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
