Booting the linux.

[Alastair Irving]

Hi

For most things grub is useable.  By putting a bell character in the 
title line of one of the menu entries you can get a system beep when 
grub comes up and also when the given entry is selected or deselected. 
By looking at the grub.conf you know what's in the menu and therefore 
its just a case of counting the number of up/down arrows to get to the 
right entry.  Admitedly I wouldn't want to do anything more advanced, 
for example giving specific kernel parameters to grub, but for this you 
can just put a new entry in the config file.

Bios is as far as I know always totally inaccessible.
