is it not possible for a hacker to set his own boot device before
performing his reboot, and then reset it back to whatever-it-was
later?  ie by messing with /dev/openprom or whatever its called

Not if you installed my little /dev/security thing, which among other
things removes all ability to open the eeprom for any reason once the
door is locked.  Guess why I added that snippet :-)
