I'm assuming you are OK with editing /etc/default/grub and once finished editing it issuing the update command. Always best to keep a copy or two of a known good working /etc/default/grub somewhere - off-line if necessary. Playing something as grub starts has always been fairly easy. At the end of the grub file is something like:- # GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" edit the comment symbol # out of that line and when grub loads the machine should beep.
Replace the numbers after the equals (=) sign with *”1000 334 1 334 1 0 1 334 1 0 1 261 1 334 1 0 1 392 2 0 4 196 2″* and you should hear a Super Mario Bros tune. Here are 3 more which you might like:- One:- *”480 165 2 165 2 165 3 554 1 587 1 554 2 370 1 554 1 523 2 349 1 523 1 494 3 165 2 165 2 165 2″* Two:- *”480 440 4 440 4 440 4 349 3 523 1 440 4 349 3 523 1 440 8 659 4 659 4 659 4 698 3 523 1 415 4 349 3 523 1 440 8″* Three:- *”480 900 2 1000 2 800 2 400 2 600 3″* Getting grub to beep something each time you choose one of the displayed boot options I guess will include using the *play* command within each line which holds the choice when you arrow to each choice. It is something I have not personally done but the grub manual http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html certainly explains most things. Hope this helps.
