I don't particually want to get dragged into this largely pointless flame
war except to say :
Why bother with the hassel of a boot disk, if u have physical console access
to the machine, just boot it to runlevel 1 thereby booting to a root prompt.
That way, presumably you'd have the approphiate encryption keys, so you'd be
able to read the disk, and before anyone asks, I personally have done this
several times in SuSE various versions, Redhat 7.2, and Debian.
Kind regards,
Paul Miles

Then you need to compile all your apps from source code, with a bunch of geeks scrutinizing all the code for holes. You probably also need to rip apart a few of the processors to make sure that no "secret registers exist in it".
Don't forget you'd also need to write the compiler yourself from scratch to be absolutely certain. Remember what Ken Thompson did
