(This is actually easier than it sounds, if u can get your hands on init source code.) You might be able to get away by disabling runlevel 1 in /etc/inittab (or making it the same as runlevel 3). There is no way to stop a bootable CD. This is above the init level, above the kernel level, and above the bootloader (lilo/grub) level. You can try to disable this option from the BIOS, but even that is easy to work around. -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
