Tom,
Goto the Apple Knowledge Base and lookup article 106214.
It relates to disk repair after improper shutdown, forced restart, or power interruption.
A partial start with command line is one of the symptoms specifically mentioned in this article, and the article advises how to respond to the command line.

I've been running X (10.3.8 now) trouble-free for months, but today I
decided to change the cables on my video converter box (which I use to feed
analog video into Final Cut), and I thought it would be safer to shut down
the computer before switching FireWire or video cables on the box (I
especially worry about switching FW cables hot). So I chose Shut Down and
waited for the Mac to shut down. The monitor screen turned blank-blue as it
usually does during shutdown, but then it just hung there, frozen. No
shut-down.
