In the beginning my PBook was configured in verbose boot so all the code was seen as it booted. Now i have stopped it using the terminal commands but still in the very beginning there is a black screen and a little coding displayed. Can this be stopped also?
 
Can you tell me exactly what that text says?

I think you may be booting into open firmware, which only displays a half dozen lines, at most, ending with a prompt.
Type reset-nvram, then press enter. (no spaces, be sure to use the (-) between reset and nvram)
You should get an OK
Type reset-all, and press enter again. Your PowerBook should restart then, hopefully not to open firmware.
Type reset-all

Here's a little more on that...

I also found that OnyX has settings to change the type of boot that you have, if you don't have any luck with those other tips.
