I have a TX so this may not apply to the SL:

On your DOS disks, you should have a program called SETUPTL.COM.
If you run this program (either by activating it from DeskMate
or from quitting DeskMate and running it from DOS) you will have
a menu of what the computer needs to do when it starts up.  i.e.
start from ROM or disk, run DeskMate or DOS, where is drive A
located (if you have more than one floppy drive), etc.  Make the
appropriate corrections (in this case, changing the start-time
application from ROM to disk and to tell it not to run DeskMate),
save to the EEPROMS and reboot.  Everything should work fine.
