Trying the auto route:

grass64 -gui
select define new location with georeferenced file
select the dem file: k42.dem
select the TN transformation, as probably better than the default for
adjacent Kentucky
enter GRASS with the newly created location and the PERMANENT mapset

Results in this error:

"g.proj or projection error: ERROR: default region is invalid
    line 3:<north: 1080:43:46N>"

So GRASS has automatically set up the location using degrees, and then get
confused when the raster co-ordinates are provided in meters. Which appears
to be fairly close to the sort of problem I ran into when setting this up
manually. What am I missing?
Please post the output of gdalinfo on that file. GRASS uses GDAL to detect
projections from metadata.
