    You can't just remove the Finder from a boot disk even if some
other program in set as startup.  I'm not sure, but Finder may run
briefly & invisibly to launch the actual startup program.
    In you want a startup disk that really does not have a finder, you
can either just rename to application you want to use as startup
to be "Finder", or edit the boot blocks field (the one with
"Finder" in it) to hold the name of your "new" program.  This
latter approach has the disadvantage that if the boot blocks get
rewritten you're out of luck & have to re-edit.
