What you're probably referring to is an INIT manager called Aask.
It performs the same function as init/cdev 2.0 (shareware) and init-picker
(commercial).  It's part of a commercial package that displays the icons of
the init's that you want to load.  If you click on one, an X appears over its
icon and then you can continue (it will keep these init's off until you change
them again) or you can click on the temp button where it will remember the 
previous settings and ignore these for the next time you reboot.  I can
get more info if you really NEED to know.  MacWorld (I think Oct. issue) 
discussed these init's and others.
