What is an OSX 'Safe Boot'?

I just did an OSX 10.2.5 restart (with the shift key down) and it displayed
a note saying 'Safe Boot'.   The restart was not safe as my modem would not
work after the safe boot.  I got an error the communication device could not
be located.  I then did a normal restart and everything works fine.

What the heck is a safe boot?
