So do I! It has been a lot of fun (and an occasional challenge) to 
explore Linux on the Wallstreet.

 From the BootX FAQ (that is in the same folder you found the BootX 
application):

"BootX FAQ
"Last updated: 19/02/1999

"How do I permanently change the default OS?
"Press the Tab key to change the default OS and then press the 'Save To 
Prefs' button."

There you go!

Best wishes,
Clint
