grub2 and sound/beep

I am using Grub 2 on my Ubuntu 9.10, and I cannot figure out how to get the 
beep inserted.
I used to put a control-G in front of the lines, but the grub.cfg file will 
not take a change.  You have to use the custom_40 file, and there are no 
such lines for editing.

The below is incorrect. It is still being maintained until grub2 is out
of beta and is considered stable. You're right about no new features,
but from my memory of the page on gnu.org, it's still maintained for bug
fixes. Also, I had no problem getting it to work with XFS. I haven't yet
tried grub2, but I've read of several cases of systems becoming
unbootable after the switch.
