the system beep is so loud it will scare the heck out of you when you backspace too far, etc... I need to reverse both.
Solution for this is to either 1) lower the volume, by lowering the slider on the "PC Beep" channel in your mixer (e.g., kmix, alsamixer, etc.), or 2) complete turn off the volume by either a) muting that channel in your mixer, or b) not loading the kernel "pcspkr" module (e.g., by setting "MODULES=(... !pcspkr ...)" in your /etc/rc.conf.
