Is there a way to get the internal hard disk not to mount?
What we need to do (government security reasons) is have some init
or program not mount the internal hard disk.

Here is the scoop:

Let's say I have a mac with a internal hard disk and external removeable media
drive. Now I set the exernal to be the startup device, can I do something
via software to make the internal drive NOT mount? Can an init be written to 
unmount a scsi device or to prevent a device from mounting?

The other solution is to put a switch in the inernal hard disk's power
connection. Not an optimal solution.

Thanks 

Matt Mora
