Booting like an Apple Mac #2: Apple Startup Sound
When entering Mac OS X you should hear the nice startup sound now ;-).
This is as close as it gets for me. There are probably ways to play a sound when the OS X login screen launches. E.g. a tiny bit earlier and independent of the Automatic Login.

p.s.: I might fake-recreate the Apple Startup Sound with audio stuff. Lets see ;-)
- Download SystemSound http://systemsoundext.sourceforge.net/ . Install it.[/*:m:10jl4lxb]
- Download a Startup Sound. You can find a bunch of Startup Sounds here in the first post: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/general ... chime.html . Open Mac_Chimes.zip - I am using "PCI based Power Mac 2"[/*:m:10jl4lxb]
- Launch System Preferences and select SystemSound. In SystemSound select Enable SystemSound Extension and Use startup sound. Then click the tab "Startup Sound" and select the audio file to be played (PCI based Power Mac 2 for me).[/*:m:10jl4lxb]
- Enable Automatic login in System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Options[/*:m:10jl4lxb]
