since harddisks cannot be made physically write-protected, this is not
a very good idea anyway.

You could use multisession CDR (using several MB for every change,
a good dozen of configs would fit on the CDR - but i dont know
how well sun's hsfs (cdrom) filesystem handles unfixated multisession
CDR's) or you could use CDRW (changing config requires blanking and
reburning of the CDRW = longer than CDRW) - you also need a cdrom
that can read cdrw's (i.e. many newer ones can)
Another option would be a Tapedrive, since most tapes have hardware-
write-protection (i.e. a switch that cannot be circumvented by the
software/os/driver)
