I don't think so....

The only method at present is to compile you're own kernel without the
scsi driver[s] in.  If you want I could send you one with only the
internal ide in...  (if you send me your configuration I could do a
custom kernel for you, provided you don't mind being a guinea pig for
some asm routines ;)

Note I if people have other special cases where they need a kernel I'll
send you a kernel, note I'd prefer if you could send me your version
of GENERIC as found in sys/arch/arm32/conf/  as setup with what you like,
you can find GENERIC on any netbsd mirror in NetBSD-current/src/

Note i'll only do these for people with a valid reason for needing a
custom kernel.

Please send these files to cg110-kernel@atlas.cs.york.ac.uk rather than my
normal adress.
