Hi Spike, These ideas of mine really need to be confirmed with a GRUB expert..

Its documentation can be found at:- www.gnu.org/software/grub/ When you switch your computer on, some built-in software (old computers have a BIOS for this, newer ones use UEFI) is run. It looks for a suitable boot device from a list of potential boot drives. When Linux is involved, the boot drive has GRUB installed on it - so when you switch a Linux computer on, it runs:- 1. The BIOS/UEFI which then invokes 2. GRUB which in turn then invokes 3. A Linux Kernel There is a file on your computer, /etc/default/grub and it might be the way to go.. In particular the line:- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" might need to have the word "quiet" removed. And, to get an audio prompt, remove the '#' character in from of GRUB_INIT_TUNE:- # Uncomment to get a beep at grub start #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" Then save the file and, to get your changes applied run:- sudo update-grub Note - I am _not_ a GRUB expert so you really need to get these ideas OKed by someone who knows more than me.
