Sorry about that, ubuntu still hasn't got an audible boot prompt set which
is why this happened. Use of the pc speaker to make one tone when the
boot prompt appears and make two tones when the boot screen goes off the
computer however that happens would have prevented this failure provided
it had been documented. Those tones would need to be at a different
frequency from the post beep so users would know something different was
going on.
