Title:
  The liveCD should beep when the boot prompt shows out

Status in “gfxboot-theme-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Blind people can't know when they got to the boot menu, so that they
  aren't able to select the appropriate accessibility options. The
  result is that on the internet you can mostly find "howtos" that say
  "once you got the start music, press alt-f1, then sudo so, then run
  orca,..." which is quite sad compared to the simplicity of the
  accessibility boot menu.

  The liveCD should hence beep when the boot prompt comes so that blind
  people know that they can use F5, some arrows and enter.
