I'm not sure what you mean by "keep the correct Finder running", but if you
mean you want to prevent the system from switching, you can try renaming the
Finder. (Duplicate the Finder, rename the copy, and trash the original--
try renaming it "Findor" or something.) We use this scheme in one of our
public clusters--we have a Mac Plus connected to a Laserwriter, and we want
to make sure people use a healthy (4.1/5.5, all laser fonts) system when
they print out. So we set up a boot disk which loads a Ramdisk into memory,
with a renamed Finder, so when the users come in to print out, the system
doesn't switch to their disk--the Ramdisk remains the current system disk.

I hope this is helpful. Or was I totally off base?
