In classical security thought.. once someone has physical access to a box (router, workstation, etc) they are assumed to "own" the box.. and in most cases this is quite true.. so physical security, policy.. grr 
ARRRGGHH.. must stop security babble! okok.. moving on.. 
Additional steps(keeping additional switches from being used in lilo):
- add password=<insert password here> to lilo
add restricted keyword if you only want to use the password to send additional options

for the truly parinoid I would recommend researching crypto file systems.. 

Finnaly, 
Think physical security if possible,
