This won't work, since the 2nd partition is not mounted during bootup,
so additional drivers and settings in ~/config are not accessible
until the tracker has mounted the 2nd partition.
Another, maybe nicer solution would be a 'lock' on the systemfiles,
so that no application can put or change anything in /boot/beos, and
if an application tries, the OS pops up a password dialog to let that
application (and it's child processes) to override the protection,
until the application quits.
Implementing this lock in a general way for storing files in folder
that users want to keep private, is maybe nice too.
