Tip: Disable shutdown beep in FreeBSD

Beeps are annoying and the one at shutdown is no different.

Here's how to get rid of shutdown beeps:

1. % su
2. # sysctl hw.syscons.bell=0
3. # echo "hw.syscons.bell=0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
4. # exit

We've started by becoming the superuser and then on step 2 we've disable the console bell. To guarantee that on next boot that horrible beep doesn't crop up we've added a sysctl to disable it in /etc/sysctl.conf.
