Yeah.  I only used PDP-8 computers before floppies had been invented.

You didn't have to remember the RIM loader for the PDP-8/I, it was
silk-screened onto the console.

You didn't often need to use it since its only purpose was to load the
BIN loader, and that usually persisted (core memory FTW!).
