No, because I always used the "programmers" switch that came with my 128. :->

I remember there was no "Set Startup..." command, Andy Hertzfeld's switcher app 
was pretty popular, you couldn't throw away your startup disk (to eject it), 
also the very first few systems had a different system error alert to the 
effect of "Sorry a serious system error occurred. You can either choose to 
resume or restart the computer."

Just my memories...
