            Bug ID: 274502
           Summary: RELNOTES: document kern.vt.enable_bell=0 by default
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jbeich@FreeBSD.org

            Blocks: 271607

After base 225639e7db68 ascii(7) BEL is no longer audible in vt(4) unlike
syscons(4). Affects at least termios(4) IMAXBEL, termcap(5) "bl" (Ctrl+G),
tcsh(1) completion (no match), ping(8) -a/-A and X11 bell (configured via "xset
b", implemented in Xorg via KDMKTONE). Not to be confused with speaker(4) or
beep(1).

One can restore the old behavior:

# sysctl kern.vt.enable_bell=1
$ kbdcontrol -b normal
