It's been awhile, but I believe it is essentially the same as in 9.1.
Next, in Extensions Manager, under the Selected Set button, choose one with a name such as OS 8.1 base. Reboot. If it boots correctly, then you have an extensions problem. Add back extensions in sets of 5 or so and rebooting until you get the problem. Then the extension with the conflict is in the last set. Fun, but the only way I know to do it.
