Tim,
You could plop the whole System Folder into the folder "Extensions
(Disabled)" on the SCSI disk, even if the SCSI disk otherwise doesn't
have a System on it.The computer automatically will refuse to either
read it or tamper with it. This worked for me. (Of course, when you need
it, you'll have to boot from a CD to read it, but that's no problem
unless you can't boot from your CD drive.)
