	Edit the menu.lst file.  You will eventually find, likely 
without needing sighted assistance, the menu options that will be 
displayed.  Use your editor to add the special character Ctrl+G, the 
bell character in 'man ascii', hex and decimal character #7 in the ASCII 
tables.  Then just save and run the update-grub script (in Debian...not 
sure about other distros).  I just put the Ctrl+G at the end of the text 
string, and only on the default selection.  Less chance of getting lost 
in the menu if there are beeps for every selection, and multiple beeps 
happen so fast, that it will likely sound like a single beep.  HTH,
