  OK, a slightly different approach...instead of modifying the shutdown
  scripts, just modify the hell out of the startup scripts. Just start
  up the absolute bare minimum of kernel-space daemons, and unmount all file
  systems except the swap.  Configure syslog to log remotely.

  So all you'd have running would be sshd, syslogd, swap daemon, and
  anything else that the above daemons would need.
