Sounds a bit like your boot directory got crazed. If you can get ahold of Diskwarrior, it will fix the drive. I once had this occur on my old Centris 650. Used an older version of AOL Instant Messenger that crashed and took out the boot directory on the hard drive. Wound up nuking and repaving the drive. Happened a second time. That time, I dropped the drive into an old IIci that I had lying around. That machine booted up. Put the drive back into the 650, and it worked just fine thereafter.
