I'd like to see you whip the hard drive out over a serial link :)

--- oh, but you mean the init=blah. True, but I'm inlined to define
serial-console-access as equal to physical access (since a serial or
network cable only stretches so far and you have to *work* to
e.g. tunnel serial stuff over Ethernet so you can get it into a
packet-switched and hence more easily cracked-open form.)
