The Sad Mac is an indication of something very wrong with the workings of your
Mac.  The fact that it works when you hold down the option or command (the
clover) keys leads me to believe that it could be some INIT or Cdev causing
the problem, though I've never heard of a Sad Mac coming from one of those.

Best bet would be to take it to a dealer and show it to him.  The funny codes
are something that someone somewhere must know (but not I)
