Same Problem
Hey,
I foolishly interupted the firmware update, the macbook looked as though it'd powered off and I was sure the instructions had said to power it on once this had happened - turns out apparently not!
This now means I have a dead macbook, it makes a funky sound when it turns on but nothing too lively happens. As the guy before said - it won't even read from the startup disks. Anyone know what to do?
I only have a PC (unfortunatly) which means I'm more or less buggered! Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Happened to me on a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.4.8. Apple has a download for a "Firmware Restoration CD" for Intel Based Macs. This corrected the problem for me. I am an Apple Care member and had it done at an Apple Store in about a half hour.They down loaded and burned the CD and showed me how to implement the fix. Easy once I knew how.
