Just put a non-bootable floppy in (or even an unformatted floppy!)k
As for the comment about not requiring memory, I "think" it is false, it
does require some memory.  Just look at the free memory count at the top
of the screen when you insert a disk. I'm not sure, but I think it goes down
a tiny winny bit.  Nothing to be concerned of though.  As for the initial
question, wasn't there supposed to be a preference setting for that in
AmigaOS 2.0 ?
