Hmmm... I wouldn't call it difficult.

Try booting without extensions (the Mac equivalent of Win9x's safe mode).  See 
if the Mac comes up and running.  Replace the defective extension and reboot.  
Works 90%+ of the time.

If the above doesn't work, boot off the OS CD and reinstall the OS with the 
option of installing the OS into a new system folder (clean install).  Correct 
the problem and bless the old system folder.

Compared to Win9x or WinNT, Mac OS is a breeze to work on.

Regards,
       David
