You must have noticed I like doing crazy things. At least in words! :-)
What about if I put the /etc/fstab and /etc/inittab files on the root
partition and the kernel, after booting, mounts a different partition on the
/etc directory? You couldn't update those two files after booting, unless you
temporarily unmount the /etc directory, but if security was the major concern,
maybe this technique should be considered. Maybe I'll try it at home some time.

Indeed. All techniques have their good and their bad sides.
|Pick a reasonable partitioning scheme and give it a shot.
|Learn from your successes and mistakes and move on.

Expecially from your mistakes, for each success there are usually many
mistakes!
