That'll bring you back to default booting MacOS if a) you keep it
installed and b) your boot-device variable ever gets reset (a hard kernel
crash often does that for me). OF seems to default to the first 'blessed'
filesystem it can find, that's why having the bootstrap partition first is
nicer.
Side note: you can move partitions around in the partition map at will.
The psrtition order on disk doesn't matter.
