You probably want to either:
1. Move beyond using the scaffold and roll your own code once you  
understand what's going on
2. START with the scaffold as a place to begin and let it create the  
initial migration, model, controller, etc.

You can run just:
        script/generate model
to get help on the generator (or just script/generate to see what  
generators are available)

You want the --skip-migration option.  You  can also just create your  
own model file (and test or spec file to go along with it).
