The first computer I used, a mini, PDP-8/E has a piece of paper on the front panel with the bootstrap sequence in machine language (octal code) that you had to punch in, to get the OS off the hard drive (a whopping 5 MB) loaded into core memory (an expensive 16K). Summer of '73 IIRC.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
