Well there is yet an easier solution:

In your /etc/lilo.conf file, add the following line:

message=/boot/beep

If another message= line exists, just comment it out or remove it.
Then create the /boot/beep file like this:

echo -en "\007" > /tmp/beep

Finally, run "lilo" to install the new configuration.
