Not on my machine. No sound card, no speakers. The thing emits a 
beep early in the reboot process, I'm presuming it's some kind of 
deep hardware-initialisation related thing, most machines seem to 
beep at some point in their init. I was wondering if it was 
possible to get hold of that system beep thang and call its tune 
directly.
