Dana,
Did you try resetting things from a boot up in Open Firmware? (Command
+ O + F) Then at the prompt type "reset-nvram" - then "reset-all" at
the next prompt - then "mac-boot" at the next prompt (all without the
quotes). After it boots, open the System Preferences and select your
OSX partition as the start up system.
That seemed to fix things for me when I had similar problems.
