There were two logic board revs for the B&W and a firmware update. I've had both and FW doesn't boot any of them. This may also be true of the PCI G4s (Yikes), though I haven't researched that, recently.
The B&W also lacks the boot drive selection option on start up that the AGP G4s have (start up holding the option key).
