Hmm, they have physical access to the box, and can reboot it, so they can just stick a boot floppy in anyway. Oh, and shouldn't the removable drive be after non-removable ones (ie removable id > non-removable id). If that's the case, and mount only looks for one disk, no problems from bogus device names ....
