I downloaded the latest boot0.s from cvs, applied you patch and put it 
on all three disks in this box.

On my tests it worked beautifully.  Beeped when I selected a 
non-existent partition and didn't beep when I selected a legitimate one, 
or just let it time out to the default.  (I tried both FreeBSD and 
WinXP/NTFS partitions for booting and auto-boot).   I can't confirm what 
boot0sio does as I don't have anything set up with a serial console.

You'll probably want some more confirmations, but I'd say this was the 
bees knees.
