I’ve been tripped up by this before as well.  It’s buried in the 
menu
system of the OS, you don’t need the service disk.

Press the SETUP MENU key, then right arrow, SOFT KEYS to see more
labels, F5 to select ON BOOT.  You can enable or disable EDITOR 
and
the IEEE-488 interface from that menu.  Then back to the root and 
SAVE
SYSTEM SETTINGS IN USERDISK, and reset.
