The incantation you require to avoid mounting the internal HD is
Insert the startup disk before the power is on
or before clicking in the restart dialogue box.
Then
Hold down the option, command, shift and delete keys until the
smiling mac appears.
Facing east on one leg is optional.

======================== Speaking of disabling internal disks. I have come across a few Mac SE's that I'd enjoy doing that to the internal floppy. Seems every time I have put one of my diskettes from my 2 Pluses into an SE, the SE says its not readable, and when put back into my Plus, it has been trashed and cannot even be formatted in the Plus. I think this is kind of LAME, Apple. So what's the story?

Seems to me I would stop putting floppies into this drive, and take it to an Apple dealer to get it serviced. But perhaps I'm crazy. Bob Hablutzel BOB@NUACC.ACNS.NWU.EDU
