Yes there is a way. But I am warning you, it can be quite painful :-).

What I would suggest is this:
- boot -kd
- at the kernel debugger prompt type the following:
   > ::bp configure
   > ::bp impl_bus_reprobe
   > :c
These commands set a breakpoint in configure() and impl_bus_reprobe(). Once you 
hit the configure() breakpoint type :c. When you hit impl_bus_reprobe() type 
::step out. From there type ::step over (or use the keyboard shortcut '[' )

Note the last instruction executed before your system reboots.

HTH
