well, a 'perm=NOMOUNT' in the filesystem's stanza in /etc/partitions
sounds logical, but if you want to be *really* sure that you cannot
mount it even from a boot floppy, i'll be happy to send you a little
superblock editor (:-) so you can change the filesystem type magic number
or whatever you like to make mount fail.
