It's controlled by the class (frontmatter definition). And you are right,
svmono.cls sets the page numbering to uppercase roman (and sets the counter
to 5), while the standard book class (and KOMA too) uses lowercase roman
(and sets the counter to 1). Compare the definitions:
---->svmono.cls
\newcommand\frontmatter{\startnewpage
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\setcounter{page}{5}}
---->book.cls
\newcommand\frontmatter{%
\cleardoublepage
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\pagenumbering{roman}}
So best is to use the \pagenumbering{roman} command as you have done (or
redefine \frontmatter in preamble).

That's a good choice. This book is incredible. No doubt Frank Mittelbach is
a wizard.
