For each layer you define, you can set the following options to true or 
false after they are defined.

            var base = new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer.Untiled(
               ...
            );

            base.addOptions({isBaseLayer: true});
            base.setVisibility(true);

This will establish the initial state of that layer.
