You can already get lilo to beep, by putting a ctrl+g in the
boot_message.txt file, or whatever file you use to display the boot
message. I can't immediately think of a way to make it beep as you
move from item to item, but if you know how your lilo.conf is written,
you should be able to make the choices you need to make without a
beep. Also, as has been mentioned, those of us lucky to have serial
ports and serial synths are already in business.
