To keep you up to date:
Imac started up in OS9 with out any problems. So I am imagining that
it didn't have the require firmware update to run 10.3. Perhaps it
was running 10.1 or 10.2. Sound logical?

If it was running OSX before, there's a good chance it already had the
firmware update.
Besides, we accidentally did that to a 350Mhz Blueberry slot-loader,
installed 10.4 without updating the firmware. In that case, it stops
recognizing the monitor, and it just stops displaying video.
I started up with Command-V and got the following:
APPLE PMU CLOCK Reset!
security auditing service present
IOATA Controller device blocking bus
Time Clock CHECK and RESET DATA

Good point, sometimes when you change hardware configurations, it
takes a long time to boot the first time. You might just leave it for
an hour and see if it boots eventually. If it does, it'll probably not
take as long in the future.

Wow that seems like quite the dilemma... You can get it apart fairly
easy, you just have to pop out the video port cover (whether it has
video or not, just slip a flathead screwdriver into the slot of the

near the sockets

Best thing to do is as Clark suggested and hold the mouse key at
startup. Or, if you can boot it into the firmware, (hold down option
as it boots, if you get boot device icons that's the firmware)
