so I see a box that has /dev/vol/var mounted on /var, format a USB
stick and label it as var, stick it in and press reset.  the stick
happens to contain a file, cron/tabs/root, which looks like this:

@reboot /bin/sh -c 'echo | /sbin/pw usermod root -h 0'

boom, instant root privs.  ok, so it requires physical access, but
still...
