If you don't lock the BIOS, you are allowing anybody to boot from his/her
own diskette (or bootable CD) and do wathever he/she wants with your ext2
partition.
If you don't lock lilo, anybody could add "init=/bin/sh" as a
parameter to the kernel, dropping he/she to a root shell without running any
script first.
Bye!
