Need Help to Reboot to Mac OS X

Hello. Somehow I got out of my gui Mac OS 10.2 into Unix single-user mode. No matter what I've tried, I can't get out of Unix. I've tried the command "reboot" with no success. I've tried a safe boot, an X boot, and a couple of others and nothing seems to work. I can use the Unix commands to determine that my files are all still intact, but I can't get to them. I would try simply re-installing the OS, but my dvd drive door won't open. Does anyone have any suggestions? (If it would help, I could go through a step by step to tell you what happened before it went Unix, but it's a long story and may not help. If you think it will, let me know and I'll give details.) Thanks to anyone who can help.
