If I recall correctly the beep comes from the PC BIOS and indicates the

The beep in question is definitely NOT from the BIOS.  My machine was 
completely silent during boot until installing the boot loader.

Unplugging the speaker would remove my ability to discern particular 
errors during the POST.

You could modify your sources to remove it. 
Pretty simple; just remove the putchr (line 205 of boot0.S).

Also, has anyone got a decent setup for a synaptics touchpad

To /boot/device.hints add
   hint.psm.0.flags=0x1000
That got mine on its feet.

Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.
