Yes, but, and there is a but, enabling a lilo password stops that.
However, if someone has physical access to a machine, all the
passwords in the world will not really help you.  A boot floppy, a
bootable CDROM, a screwdriver.. take your pick.  Course, encrypted
file systems may be handy in that case.
