This morning 12 hours later I cannot get this computer to boot.
I get the normal start up chime/bong then once it lights up the
monitor I have a black rectangle on a grey screen or just the apple
in the center of the grey screen.
Once with the 'C' key held down and the cd in it gave me the same
except the rectangle had the "you need to restart your computer" text
in it.
Tried booting into single user mode, it boots up to the exact same
hang screen and message as last night. This screen will not accept
any keyboard input.
Tried booting with the option key, I get the selection of start up
disks but it only goes to the blank "you need to restart your
computer" screen when I try to start it.
The only thing I have not tried is booting into OS 9 which I'm not
sure if this machine will do.
It seems stuck in Applejack and Single user mode.
Any tricks that I don't know about to make it boot to OSX?
Or is this a fatal error?
Could this hang cause any possible problems with the HDD?

Does this mean bad RAM or problems with the logic board or processor?
