Hello,
I edited /etc/default/grub and uncommented the tune line so I would get a beep
on startup.
Years back there used to be a way to make grub beep every time we arrowed to a
new entry.
Is there still a way to do this with grub 2?
Thanks

Hello,
Note that you need to select the graphical boot entry in order to get
speech support.
Beeping might not be supported on the mac mini, but if it's grub, the
"s" shortcut should be working.

So what I meant is that efibootmgr is also available in Debian.
Other correction: the option if grub-install to prevent writing a boot entry in
the firmware's boot menu is: --no-nvram (with a hyphen between no and nvram).

I think you are confusing the GRUB menu with the menu of the firmware.

Hello friendly list,
GRUB now puts a "Preferred Boot" at the top of GRUB's choices so that it
goes directly to the last successfully used operating system.
Example:
I have Slint, Debian, and Windows 10 on my computer.
They all boot with use of GRUB.

If a user learned their numbers in Morse code, the pc speaker could be
used if one existed and pcspkr had been loaded. All a user would hear
would be numbers once up and down arrows got used but if that user knew
what would start with each number played, no need for sound cards at all.
