lilo and beep again

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ok, I thought I knew how to do this but it doesn't seem to work.
I'd like the machine to beep before OS choice on boot-up.  
Here's my lilo.conf file
----------------------------------------------------------------------
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
#message=/boot/message
message=/boot/beep
linear
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
	label=linux
	read-only
	root=/dev/hda5

other=/dev/hda1
	label=windows
----------------------------------------------------------------------
and my /boot/beep file simply contains the one character ctrl-g
'\007', however you want to put it.  

I've rerun lilo again as root and do indeed get a new /boot/map 
file.  
But running 
shutdown -h now
then powering up from cold doesn't seem to produce a  beep.  
Anyone spot the mistake?
This, btw, is on  a Dell L400 under RH7.1.
thanks again
Peter
