Caleb,
Hold down the '9' key while booting - hopefully you'll be able to
boot into OS 9.
One alternative is that you may be able to do a 'safe' boot in OS X
and recover your files. Just hold down the Shift key while booting -
this may help prevent the 'Services' hang.
Sounds like you need to repair the disk with something like
DiskWarrior. If you're lucky, Apple's Disk Utility will fix it for
you. Otherwise, you might be looking at a fresh format and install -
hopefully you have a recent backup or are able to recover your files
beforehand.
Good luck,
Rick

Dear listers,
I restarted my Lombard after all the iApps quit working on my Lombard,
and now it's not booting. By iApps, I mean Safari, Mail and iChat, but
I digress. It'll boot to the point where it says "Waiting for
Application Services" and then it just sits there. No HD activity,
nothing.
I'm running 10.2.8, but I've got 9.2.1 on the drive, but I don't know
how to switch boot partitions without booting into the Mac OS. I've
also got an 8.5 CD that came with the machine, but it won't boot from
that.
Any help will be appreciated,
Caleb
