I've wondered about this, is there a ROM on the apple motherboards

difference from mac to any other machine?
Less now than before as a result of the move to the Intel
processor, which is actually what makes it all possible to do rather
easily. Some operating issue remain, however. Waking from sleep can
be problematic, and it may be necessary under emulation software to
have the OS DVD in the drive in order to boot up. Updating system
software can cause issues as well.
