Brent, I appreciate you took the time to try and help. I think I followed the boot rescue procedure, but ended up with two errors. The first one to do with validating the network connection. The second one at the very end, clr-boot-manager update. Tried to boot anyway, no success, dracut-initqueue timeout. Anyone able to help?
Here's what I did:
