This is exactly what the Minimum Installer Scripts are for.  On
System Tools Utilites 1 disk (I think) there is an installer and
some special scripts (Min. Plus, Min. SE, Min. II) that only
install the resources necessary to boot a specific machine.  If
you try to boot a Mac II with a Min. Mac Plus Disk you get
a dialog box saying "This disk will only boot a Mac Plus" (or
words to that effect).  

This is MUCH safer than hacking on the System file with ResEdit.
