I turned my ibook on 15 minutes ago and it booted up in what appeared to be terminal. I got the login and password on a darwin like interface. What the heck happened? I rebooted and everything went back to normal.
I am running 10.2.1 by the way.

Perhaps a pair of unusually heavy flies happened to land on your Cmd and S keys ...?

I found it extremely weird since no one else was in the room and I just pressed the on button and left to get some coffee, and they hello, welcome to darwin.....
What could have caused it?

Cmd and S wouldn't do that would it? Thats for Single User Mode which doesn't ask me for a login/password.
Actually, last time I tried Cmd+S it didn't work, I thought maybe 10.2 blocks these things...
No idea why it would've happened. Just a temporary quirck in Window Server?

My TiBook did that occasionally after 10.2. I haven't seen it for a while.

my iBook did that too.
it wasnt single user mode (i use it all the time for HD maintenance).
it got all the way through booting, but instead of the desktop and finder popping up the screen went black and the text "welcome to darwin" was across the top of the screen and i was in a unix terminal environment. restarted...all went normal. very strange.

Hmmm...makes me wonder if there's a virtual terminal service built into OS X that Apple isn't telling anyone about, and someone your machine is showing the virtual terminal instead of the GUI.
Probably not, but a thought...

No he means virtual consoles, accessed on Linux via ctrl-alt-f[1-7]
Very handy if X starts playing up.
