  The sad Mac indicates something very wrong with your Macintosh and it 
should be taken to a dealer for service right away.  But I do remember reading
somewhere a long time ago that the option-command key will bypass most/all of
the system checkout at startup.  I don't believe that an INIT can cause the
system to do a sad mac, but it could cause a system error.
