"New World" machines (like my TiBook) actually store the contents of the boot rom on disk (correct me if I am wrong.) Since this is an old world machine, the os 9 loader begins and loads the software that boots os x. On my Wallstreet, this sequence of Happy Mac -> Apple Logo only happens after a PRAM reset, if this is happening to you every time you shut down, your PRAM battery may have gone south.
