With SeriesII 1.06 I just set the flag to SKIP on the SupraFormat screen.
Didn't even bother resetting the LUN.  Someone told me, though, that the
lower LUNs will run more slowly since they are "farther down the road"
from the controller.  I haven't had a chance to try it out myself, just
passing it along.
