Am I out in left field on this? All this verbage to explain something basic? I
always thought that *any* computer boots from sector0-track0 because early in
the boot process of *any* computer,a RESET signal is sent out on the computer's
I/O bus (or whatever bus the various controllers sit on) and this "RESET"
results in all registers being set to zero. (including both sector and track
registers) 
Are Apples different in some way?
