hmm....
A few ideas come to mind...
1) Stop it from happening...
cut the wires that goto the reset button...replace it with a key
switch.... other bits of wiring...
2) mount as much as possible read-only. (/usr /etc )
3) On a network? NFS mounts don't seem to mind this abuse at all
is NFS-root not an option?
not too much I can think of other than hacking your kernel...
