    You answered the question during the installation. If it's a recent
    version of Red Hat Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it will likely be
    grub.

    The definitive answer (assuming you boot from /dev/hda):

    [root@pe400 ~]# dd if=/dev/hda bs=384 count=1 |strings
    1+0 records in
    1+0 records out
    8,| u
    ZRrI
    D|f1
    GRUB

    This tells you that you're booting using GRUB.
