Alternatively, set the startup slot to 5, and it will skip the 5.25"
drive.  You could use PR#6 to boot it manually.

I have my SCSI card in slot 4 and my startup slot set to 6 (which
contains my SuperDrive card - the 5.25" drive is switched out).  I
have a ROM 3, so putting the SCSI card in 4 doesn't mean I lose the
mouse in GS/OS programs.  (I do lose it in ProDOS-8 programs, which is
no problem for me.)
