Hi,
just installed a fresh 6.0 on a laptop, using the standard boot
manager. The problem is: The default volume of pcspeaker can't be tuned
in bios or anywhere else before loading a sound driver (in this case
snd_ich). This especially means the pc speaker volume is always set to
100% at every boot which results in a horribly loud beep which I am
afraid the built-in "speakers" can't do very often :-)
So what about this one:
--- /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.S
+++ boot0.S
@@ -201,9 +201,7 @@
/*
* Start of input loop. Beep and take note of time
*/
-main.10: movb $ASCII_BEL,%al # Signal
- callw putchr # beep!
- xorb %ah,%ah # BIOS: Get
+main.10: xorb %ah,%ah # BIOS: Get
int $0x1a # system time
movw %dx,%di # Ticks when
addw _TICKS(%bp),%di # timeout
This might be an issue on other architectures (amd64?) as well, I
haven't checked that right now.
TIA,
Riggs
