    A beep usually means that boot0 cannot find a valid secondary boot
    sector in the slice.  This is often due to CHS vs LBA confusion.  I
    usually tell the BIOS to use LBA mode and use boot0cfg (when using 
    the DragonFly boot0) to turn on packet mode.

That's probably it then. So I should force it to LBA mode in the other 
machines BIOS (if I can, it's an old machine) and I should run boot0cfg 
again with packet mode on?
