It sounds like you got it working again.  If not, email me offlist or  
I can call you on the telephone and possibly help out.

SystemStarter (one word) is the Darwin services init system.  It  
doesn't load kernel extensions and low-level BSD subsystem services  
like /etc/rc does with its BSD-style init, but it loads and starts  
things like Apache (Personal Web Sharing), NTP, AppleShare, etc..  If  
you look in /Library/StartupItems and /System/Library/StartupItems  
you'll see the things that SystemStarter starts at boot time.

SystemStarter is unique to Darwin (the core of OS X), as in  
traditional BSD Unix systems SystemStarter's services are started  
with /etc/rc.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d shell scripts.  It was written  
by a Darwin developer named Fred Sánchez as an eventual escape from  
entrenched Unix and a more robust Unix startup environment.
