Exclamation 01 XC90 bought used in 06 won't start this am

but its been just fine for the past year. Over 200,000 miles, 25 mi/gal (not so hot), we have an '85 240 sedan, an '85 740 wagon waiting for a new tranmission (taking up much needed room in our garage), and a '93 240 wagon we use daily along with the XC. Was hesitant to upgrade to the new century but decided it was worth a try. On to this morning. My 18 year old used the car, had the radio up loud, the car was in reverse he thought it was running, it was in reverse, it ROLLED FORWARD, put brake on and while car was still in reverse, tried to start the car. A funny sound occured. Radio was turned off. Car was put in park, tred to start it again and same clicking/funny sound occured. Husband went to site, determines the engine will not engage, possibly alternator. Any ideas? Why would it roll FORWARD in reverse anyway?
