that's right, I tried this first
in '/etc/defaults/rc.conf' it's 'keybell=NO'

Well, that doesn't really matter - it's all the same and is not
working properly for me 8)

does the same thing, as supposed to

as I remember, in RELEASE-2.2.7 it worked fine (or it just was
because of a different machine), and as I moved to FreeBSD-4.?.?,
 it never works for me

> Please confirm if it works for you as well.
not as I expect it to work

I expect the beeper to be absolutely quiet, but it just sets the
frequency low (about 30Hz)
As I understand it: when the 'keybell=off' is used, and terminal
recieves 07h, the kernel shouldn't touch the timer and send anything
to port 61h, but it [sets the timer(I can hear some
sounds) and OUTs to the port?]

I'll check '/usr/src/sys/isa/syscons_isa.c' (right?) for how it actually works
[and will learn some more C :)]

well, I thought I tested it enough to report a PR
