Yes. You can use this trick:

Set the nodes to standby permanently:

# crm node standby node1

Set the node online *until it reboots*:

# crm node status-attr node1 set standby false

Voila. Now every time the node reboots it'll be in standby until
something or someone intervenes with this command.
