Sure it can - I'm not suggesting that you can't write protect any given
boot media given enough time and effort.  You could, for example, mount
CF in a hot swap IDE drive bay, and just pull the drive out after
the router had booted.

What I was asking was what real,tangible benefit write protecting the
boot media gives you, and is that benefit worth anything against the
extra hassle of having a write protected boot media.

Cheers
