Well, you were right. Rod Smith of rodsbooks.com suggested the same thing in an email.
1- I moved some data from two larger partitions in the first 2TB onto other data partitions later in the disk. 2- I rebuilt the CentOS 6.6 /boot in a new 1GB partition in the first 2TB 3- I rebooted into grub2 command-line, lo and behold, it sees the filesystem. Thank you, Andrei. Now, if only I could figure out why os-prober will not create menu entries for that /boot....
