If you domake xconfig
in /usr/src/linux
and you go into the scsi driver section,
there are two drivers for the ncr8x0 scsi adapters.
the one is called something like ncr7/8xx, that is the wrong one,
the BSD driver is called ncr8x0 and it is mentioned that it is the bsd driver.
There you should also be able to turn off disconnect/reconnect!
