I had a similar problem (actually still have) on my Wallstreet regarding the start-up issue. In my case, I had OSX 10.1, 9.2.2, but after many weeks of investigation, it was determined that the PMU unit was bad. The force restarts started a few at first, once the system was up and running, no other problems happened. At the end, it was taking between 10 - 20 forced restarts to get it operational.
Instead of getting a new PMU and installing, I opted to get a new Ibook. You can get PMU's from several companies: Powerbooktech.com Powerbookmedic.com Powerbookguy.com Pbparts.com Wegenermedia.com All sell just about any part for your powerbook and also have a flat repair rate from $50 to $100 plus parts if you want to send the unit in.
