Works fine when I boot normally, just not when I boot into single user mode. Thinking that it might be a keyboard problem I switched it with a 2006 flat aluminum keyboard I've used on another iMac--still couldn't type anything at the single user mode command prompt...
After booting normally, I went back to Disk Utility for clues. I see both my OS X partition (105 GB, 93 GB free) and the Rescue partition (15 GB). A difference I noted in the two partitions: it reports that OS X mounts at "/", and it reports Rescue as mounting at /Volumes/Rescue.
