Usually what I do to discourage playing around is set a grub password,
set PROMPT=no in /etc/sysconfig/init and disable control alt delete,
set a bios admin password, disable booting from removable media (unless
a password is supplied).
I never took a look at syslinux or isolinux to see if they have commands to
escape them, but that wouldn't apply in my use cases.
