Description kh 1998-03-17 00:50:03 UTC 
Current kbdcontrol(1) manual has not enough information to set
bel duration and pitch.  Here is a possible patch to /usr/shar/
man/man1/kbdcontrol.1.

--- /usr/shar/man/man1/kbdcontrol.1	Tue Mar 17 08:47:45 1998

  The following command line options are supported:

--- 37,43 ----
  The following command line options are supported:
  .Bl -tag -width indent
  .It Fl b Ar duration.pitch | Ar belltype
! Set the bell duration in 1/10 seconds and pitch in 838.1 nanoseconds. 
  If a 
  .Ar belltype
  argument is specified, it may be one of

Fix: But there is inconsistency between kbdcontrol(1) and syscons device
drive as for their default value.

                                bell duration
-----------------------------------------------
/sys/i386/isa/syscons.c          50 miliseconds
/usr/src/usr.sbin/kbdcontrol.c  100 miliseconds


Perhaps more reasonable way is changing unit of pitch and duration
to in hertz (pitch) and miliseconds (duration) as follow.
