Yea, these OldWorld Macs has the traditional Mac Toolbox ROM specifically designed for booting classic Mac OS. In contrast, NewWorld Macs has only Open Firmware in ROM, and it was specifically designed to make booting both classic Mac OS and Mac OS X easy. While all PCI Macs had Open Firmware since the beginning and that is how Mac OS X always boots even on OldWorld Macs, the OF implementations in OldWorld Macs was much poorer than those in NewWorld Macs.
