Subject: VPIX -- how to avoid add-on card boot code from executing?

I just added a new card to my ESIX 3.2D system -- a Future Domain
SCSI card,  which includes a boot rom.  Whenever I enter vpix, it
executes the SCSI boot routine.  This is undesireable since Unix
may be using the SCSI at the same time.
Question:  How can I hide the card from VPIX?
