here's a OSX troubleshooting guide from Apple:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25392


I would say start with disconnecting *all* 
peripherals except for keyboard & mouse and all 
3rd party RAM then try to boot from the hard 
drive. If that fails try booting from the Panther 
CD (hold the C key down at boot time).

If that fails try resetting the Open Firmware by 
holding down the Command Option OF keys at start 
up. If you are able to get the grey Open Firmware 
screen and ">" prompt type the following:

reset-nvram   <press Return>
set-defaults    <press Return>
reset-all   <press Return>


Your computer will reboot after that last command, hopefully successfully. ;)

If no joy take it to an Apple repair shop unless 
someone here else has any better ideas?
