How to force, Don't mount one partition on Boot?

This might sound strange so let me explain.

I have several drives and one is just a partition with Snow Leo on it. I never use it but it is there because occasionally I have the need to boot into Snow.

I know I could hide it but actually i don't even want Lion to know that drive is there. So now I boot normally and then just unmount it after boot. But it is a step I would like to bypass and not have that partition mounted.

Once upon a time I could have modified fstab but not in Lion.

Any wizard out there know a flag I could attach to that partition to accomplish this?

Thanks.

I just modified my fstab (in Lion) and it works fine

Really. mine looks empty...

is it:
sudo nano /etc/fstab

or something else?

Yes, mine was empty too. I followed this: http://www.quora.com/How-can-I-disable- ... n-Mac-OS-X
