Setup a password for lilo so you cannot
edit the kernel parameters without it.
Then add a BIOS password so you cannot boot
from a floppy without the BIOS password
(and dissable floppy boots in BIOS).

If anyone can boot from a floppy, a single floppy
distro can boot. Then you can check /proc/partitions
and mount them to find /
once you find /, you have /etc/fstab and you can
get the whole filesystem layout.
So you need to disable floppy booting for security.
But x86 boxes are always going to be insecure.
