If you want to passwrod protect an image, add password=<password> to that
images's section. (This requires a password to boot.) If you add the
restricted option to the image, then the password is only required if you
want to add command line parameters. (ie single, or init=/bin/bash).
As an added protection, set the BIOS to boot from the hard drive, then the
floppy. Then password protect entering BIOS setup.
