small booting problem (Help!)

We have a MacII with two hard drives, an internal 100meg at SCSI ID 2, 
and the external one with A/UX at SCSI ID 5.  In the MacOs I've set it
up so that the 100meg internal is the startup device, rather than the
A/UX external.  My problem is that the internal disk will only be the
startup device on a restart, not on a powerup, probably due to the fact
the SCSI starts with the higher scsi numbers and works down. Is there
any way through software to get the Mac NOT to boot up on the A/UX disk
on powerup?  It's not a problem for me to restart, but many people on
my staff are not extremely computer literate, and I can't be there all
the time.
