  == BoF agenda and discussion ==
  
+ Beeps during boot at certain points
+  * In grub when ready for user interaction.
+  * When boot takes longer than it should eg. fsck.  Continuous soft beep to notify user that process is continuing.  
+  * 'Dangerous' sounding beep when user intervention required.  eg. fsck repair mode.
+ 
+ Needs pc speaker module in initramfs.
+ Must be configurable.
+ 
+ Beep when ready for console login.
+ 
+ --Draft--
+         not by default
+ 	need a way to activate beeps.
+ 	beep in grub.  This is possible though live cd does not use grub.
+ 	We must allow the framework to be configurable
+ 	Try and add some kind of audio alert to fsck.
+ 	speakup is needed and ties up your audio hardware.
+ 	A beep when the boot process is going to take longer than expected and further beeps as it continues.
+ 	A more dangerous sounding beep when user intervention is required.
+ 	Pc speaker in ramfs.
+ 	talk to boot guys.
