Thanks for helping!
Before i follow your link and execute the commands i need to tell you that while you were researching i had followed some of your own advice from a post i found listed below.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=320663
After trying the commands from the thread i pasted above, the machine tries to boot, it flashes the mac os x loading window for a second and then hangs on the blue screen and the mouse cursor is present but fades away. It then flashes the spinning progress circle in the lower middle of the screen (it actually fades in and out every 20 seconds).
The machine does not automatically boot into the darwin/bsd page anymore.
I have to hard restart into single user mode and this is what i see:

If you want to make modifications to files:

If you wish to boot the system, but stay in single user mode:
sh /etc/rc

---------------------
I will wait to hear back from you before i proceed any further just in case i have done further damage from running those commands in the pasted thread.
Thank you again in advance BDAqua!
