Can you just leave out that section when you convert to an s-record (hex file) with obj-dump?

I think I wasn't clear. What I've done is exactly to create a custom linker script based on the original F149 script. It's working, allocates correctly and I can read and program without any problems. What I couldn't achieve is to have this section not loaded with the program, like it works with the infomemnobits section. I really don't need it to initialize the whole memory to zeros everytime I reload the program for debug.
