So I just received my CTO MBP with 4 GB ram and iWork pre installed. I pressed the power button and heard the start up sound and looked away for a moment. When I turned around it restarted again and made the startup sound again. Is that normal for it to do that on first startup?
Got a tip for us?

i think it's normal, it happened when i upgraded my powermac G5 from 10.4 to 10.5, i worried slightly but it worked fine after that
Since they preinstalled stuff and I am not sure how that works, don't worry about it. It's pretty normal to get a double boot if something has been updated or whatever, maybe they ran system up date for you before shipping.
Unless it does this on every boot you're fine. Enjoy your MBP!

Sigh..I dont really know. I have been concerned with random stuff lately.
The reason why I found it unusual was that my other MBP just booted straight up but this one didn't.

Everything seems to be working fine till now. I am not concerned its more like I am curious as to what happened. Which also led me to think how Apple makes CTO macbooks.
Do they assemble the hardware first completely and then software or software and base config first and then the additional hardware?

It is likely that they build the hardware and then clone the entire software stack including OS to the drive with a drive cloning tool.
