That depends on your loader. But both LILO and GRUB which are the most used
loaders have password protection. Try taking a look on the documentation
for your loader. In addition to that protect the BIOS configuration with a
password. Finally you might want to worry about people opening the box and
reseting the BIOS configuration.
