Thanks for the replies. I also found this link which appears to be an
thorough diagnostic of the issue:
http://mrjcd.com/gileskennedy/iMac_firmware_problem_v1_2.pdf
Like Dean, the author suggests disconnecting everything, but leaving
for 24 hours, and with some detailed procedures when adding everything
back in. I'm going to leave the machine for at least an hour, try it
again, and if that doesn't work go with the 24 hours and see if that
helps.
Thanks again

It happens all the time.. ;-) even to me - the last time yesterday

So I've disconnected everything ( RAM, HD, VRAM, PRAM Battery) for at
least
half an hour / press the CUDA ... then build everything in and start
from a
Disc with OS 9 (with "C" Button while start up) and tataaaa the iMac
works
again... sometimes I have to do it 2 or 3 times to bring the iMac to
live
again.
Then do a fresh install to OS9.2.2 and updated the firmware and update
the
VRAM also (at www.ati.com)
The best thing when upgrading to X is with only 1 RAM stick in the iMac
(128MB at least, better 256MB RAM)
