[MacDV] security

There seems to be a law that when you're in the middle of an important
project things go wrong.

I just installed the software updates for iTunes and Security. After I
clicked 'restart' the grey screen with the Apple logo appeared but it won't
go past that to the login window. I've rebooted with scanner, printer etc.
unplugged but I can't get past the grey screen. I ran fsck -y and fsck -f
commands from the Unix screen and it says the hard drive appears to be ok. I
can't reboot from the Tiger discs because the cd player won't open. Can
anyone help? I'm desperate; all the dealers and service people are closed
for the night. I don't know if there are any issues with the Security update
or not, but something happened immediately after the install.

I'm running a 1 gig G4 tower with OS X 3.9

Thanks for any help.

Ray
