Just so you know, I'm just grasping at straws here.

Have you gone into the Startup Disk panel of System Preferences and 
re-selected your startup volume? Just trying to rule out the 
possibility that the system is looking for a CD to boot from that's not 
present.

Open up a terminal window and type "ls /Volumes" (no quotes) and hit 
return. Make sure there isn't an alias to a CD in the list somewhere. 
If there is, you will need to remove it so the system isn't trying to 
mount it at startup.

That's about all I can come up with.
