Alas, not. The console driver won't ring the BIOS bell on anything I've
tried. It might on a desktop with a built-in sound card and speakers, but it
won't do anything with the "beep" speaker. It's actually the same solution I
mentioned in the first line (\a translates to 007 which is ctrl-G).
Make sure hw.syscons.bell is set to 1. It can be changed at run time,
like in /etc/sysctl.conf. Some systems have it disabled (set to 0)
because the bell is amazingly loud and piercing. (Looking at you,
Dell.)
