You need to pass in a custom file containing the correct configuration
at boot time with grub.
I did a small writeup[1] on how to do that here:
http://blog.shalman.org/overriding-driver-config-files-on-smartos/
If it were me, on my USB stick I would create a text file named
system.nobeep
containing that "exclude: pit_beep" line.
Then I would modify my boot entry in menu.lst to look like:
title Live 64-bit (text)
kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix -B console=text,smartos=true
module /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive type=rootfs name=ramdisk
module /system.nobeep type=file name=etc/system
(If you prefer a serial console vs vga, etc. then obviously adjust to
taste.)
The important detail is to add the "type=rootfs name=ramdisk" to the
boot_archive line
as well as adding the line for the extra file.
I haven't tested this for turning off console beep so I'll be curious to
hear if it works.

In Solaris/OI/OmniOS to disable the &*#@ console beep:
# vi /etc/system

How can I do this with SmartOS?
