And is it a realistic case for an SBC? SCSI emulation over IDE, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI. You have the SCSI mid layer code but no SCSI hardware drivers. It is a realistic case for an embedded CD-RW appliance. BTW, there is a bug in the current setting of CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI. Starting with CONFIG_SCSI unset, you can set BLK_DEV_IDESCSI to y and later set SCSI to n and get a mess, even with make oldconfig. I am discussing the fix with Andre Hendrick, expect BLK_DEV_IDESCSI to move to the SCSI menu.
