Yep, good idea.  Add an IDS that will auto reboot on detection of
problems and you have a pretty good combo.  Do a google search for
SentryCD.  I don't know if it's still maintained or not, but it should
be exactly what your looking for.

If you were to roll your own, search linuxfromscratch.org for boot-cd
hints.  

If you want to use the Gentoo Live CD as a base, the boot-cd hints will
still give you a good understanding of what goes into it.

Cooper.
