There is no solution but perhaps they will interest you. http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/security/protecttools_smartcard.html http://home.hkstar.com/~alanchan/papers/smartCardSecurity/#procedural section 4.3
Perhaps you can find something with the keyword: "boot integrity token system". The Boot Integrity Token System (BITS) was developed to protect computer systems from a large number of viruses that affect the booting system, and enforce control of access. BITS is designed so that the computer boots from a boot sector stored on the smart card, bypassing the boot sector on the computer which can easily be infected by a virus. The card also can be configured to allow access to the computer only by authorised users (Clark and Hoffman 1994, 67-68).
