Take a look at this Developer Connection describing the hardware  
features of the G5 (towers), published 5 1/2 weeks ago:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/ 
Macintosh_CPUs-G5/PowerMacG5/1Overview/chapter_2_section_3.html>

It states, among other things: "Boot ROM: The Power Mac G5 computer  
comes with 1 MB of boot ROM."
