Subject: 2090a and my Syquest SQ555...making it *NOT* autoboot.

I have a 2090a controller and a Syquest 44meg harddisk.  In booting
up, the 2090a attempts to read the Syquest after the internal Quantum
is read.  After booting up, I get an icon for drive "DH2:", but
there's nothing there.

I will assume the 2090a sees the Syquest on boot-up, and attempts to
find an OFS partition on the Syquest, and assigns an icon for it.

In order to disable the autobooting of the Syquest, do I flip a switch
on the 2090a, or move the drive to another unit assignment (it's unit
0 now), like 1,2,3,etc...

Thanks.
