My guess is you need to reset the PRAM (parameter ram) by removing the 
battery for 30 seconds or so, then putting it all back together. Open 
the case, remove the power cord, raise the deck, and the battery is at 
the end of the A/V or sound personality card. There's a cover over it 
that you'll have to remove by prying the end where it clips on. Pull 
the battery out---noting the polarity (the plus goes towards the front 
of the computer), wait about 30 seconds, then put everything back 
together...see if that works. You'll have to reset date and time unless 
you have network time enabled (why wouldn't you?)

Best,

Travis

so, i regularly break the greatest of all commandments:
Thou shalt not be pull thy plug (to shut down!)
but i swear this to you, it is the only way sometimes, i mean nothing 
else works it responds to nothing on the keyboard or even the panic 
button on the face of the console.
This time i was trying to print and nothing was working.
anyway, after a time the mouse froze up and nothing was working so i 
eventually pulled the plug.
well, when she finished rebooting the cursor showed up in the same 
exact location as when i shut it down, now it does shut down with the 
panic button and it starts from the keyboard and the mouse works until 
the reboot process is complete, i know thats weird but i can even boot 
the cd, which in this case is my copy of 9.01, which I have 
reinstalled.
i have tried everything i can think of including changing keyboards 
and mouses.

someone knows what stupid thing i have done, and i hope their is a 
simple fix.

here's hoping
