Is there a way to get the boot process to skip the IDE probe, the board is
booting from the SCSI port and hangs for several minutes while trying to
look at the IDE hardware which I don't think is there.

I don't know a thing about the system you're working with, but I would
think building a kernel without IDE support, *or* excluding IDE
modules from the initrd (if you use one) would probably do the trick.
