su to root
umount /aux
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd1 count=2
delete the entire line from /etc/fstab for /dev/wd1s1e and save
/sbin/shutdown -h now

Power-down system and remove the drive.

Power-up and your back in business.  You should also remove the directory
/aux.

I haven't actually tried this, but it should work.  Hope this helps.
