OTOH it is quite reasonable to explore auto-loading DM on top of the bare drive, and populating a DM table, if you see that particular BIOS signature or [insert other detection method].
.. I am very interested to hear a more detailed explanation of this, as I don't really see how it addresses the problems. Probably because I don't know much about device mapper. But my understanding of it is that it re-exports portions of the original device as a second device. It doesn't seem to prevent using the original device afterward, and I don't know if dm devices can have GRUB installed on them or not. So a more full tutorial might be in order here.
