grub2 and sound/beep

[John Heim]

	I agree that the documentation is insufficient. Furthermore, there  
isn't enough out there on google to be helpful yet. My experience with  
grub2 was not good. I had a menu.lst that beeped and had a serial  
console configured. I lost both when I switched to grub2. I think this  
is a serious bug because when you install grub2, it leaves old grub on  
the system and you're supposed to type some command to switch to grub2  
if grub2 is working. Well, I couldn't tell if grub2 was working. I  
switched to grub2 anyway and fortunately, my machine did boot. But it  
was an act of faith.
