I have not done this for some time, but I remember it was allways 
possible to override Bios passwords with default values on x86.  I 
think if someone spends the energy to create a boot floppy, this 
person will also spend it to do some research for the "emergency" 
password. You might also consider a "floppy lock" (Kingston or 
Kensington had such) a device that is a hardware lock for the 
floppy, but I think to remember it was not too hard to unallowed 
unlock it with a paperclip.
