In the route dialog, set the "direction" of the layers you don't want
to "N.A."
(Not applicable.)  Alternately, you can use is route ctl file that
makes one layer
more and more expensive for each pass.  There is a ctl file like this
either in the
distribution or downloadable, called
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/userfiles/misc/1layer.ctl
that does this somewhat reasonably, creating traces that look like
"jumpers" in the
other layer.

Worry, though.  Most of what little intelligence there is to the
cadsoft router is in
moving traces and parts of traces from one layer to another.  Remove
that capability
and it tends to have a very hard time doing a good job.  It's still
sometimes useful
to find a starting point...
