Hi,

To turn the beeps off in console,

/sbin/wsconsctl -w bell.pitch=3D0=09=09 # Kill's the annoying bell pitch

I created a sh file and run it from /etc/rc.local automatically.

NetBSD's volume is also too high for me, so I do

/usr/bin/mixerctl -w outputs.master=3D120  # Turn's the volume down

Also, NetBSD by default mutes the audio channel.  So I enable the audio=20
channel by:

/usr/bin/mixerctl -w inputs.cd.mute=3Doff   # Disable's the Audio CD mute


Here's my sh script:

----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# This file is called `localinit`
# Sung's scripts in further customizing NetBSD

#########################################
# Misc tuneups=09=09=09=09#
#########################################

/sbin/wsconsctl -w bell.pitch=3D0=09=09 # Kill the annoying bell pitch
/usr/bin/mixerctl -w outputs.master=3D120  # Turn the volume down
/usr/bin/mixerctl -w inputs.cd.mute=3Doff  # Disable the Audio CD mute

################################################
# Allow ordinary users to mount floppy & cdrom #
################################################

sysctl -w vfs.generic.usermount=3D1
chmod 0777 /dev/fd0a     # Allow anyone to read, write to or from floppy
chmod 0777 /dev/cd0a
chmod 0777 /dev/cd1a
---------------------------------------

I called this script, "localinit".  Make sure to chmod to executable and =
root=20
owned!

# chown root localinit
# chmod u+x localinit

I have local directory called, /home/uetc/urc.d
This is where I store all the executables for /etc/rc.local.
So I would have localinit in this directory.  To have this executed every=
time=20
automatically as I boot NetBSD, I've added it in /etc/rc.local file.

Here's my /etc/rc.local file:

--------------------
if [ -f /home/uetc/urc.d/localinit ]; then
/home/uetc/urc.d/localinit start
fi

if [ -f /usr/X11R6/bin/kdm ]; then
/usr/X11R6/bin/kdm start
fi

echo '.'
