While I agree that the beep is annoying, and will probably employ your patch on my laptop (thanks!), I might mention that the beep is probably there for a good reason: As an aid to booting machines with just a serial console attached. See "Tips for Serial Console Users" in INSTALL.TXT. An easy option to installing a beepless boot loader might be welcome, but making the default silent is probably not a good idea. - Harald _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
