I'm going to say DON'T DO THIS as well.
This isn't what ext3fs is designed to prevent or protect against.
You can speed shutdown by not running services. You can also reduce the
'sleep 5' value in /etc/init.d/single to something shorter, say, 2, to
shave a few seconds off the shutdown time.
If you want a system that's largely immune to hard kills, your best bet
is a JWZ NFS boot mentioned previously, or to use a bootable GNU/Linux
image á la LNX-BBC. The latter includes instructions on customizing the
build, and the image can be loaded from disk (or network) rather than CD
if necessary.
Peace.
