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. --Alex
