How to make a NULL FPGA (CycloneII) - a complete empty design

I am trying to make a FPGA design that behaves just like an unconfigured FPGA - from a boundary scan point of view. Why ? we test boards with Boundary scan ,and factory new boards with empty flash...

Why can't the BSDLCustomizer works? You can just use your existing design and generate the new BSDL file with your PIN file. Use the new BSDL file for scan test. Make sure you don't pull your nConfig to low because that will loose your device configuration and the new BSDL file won't work then.
