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.
