Jamie,
  There was a program released a while back that would tell you what the
  diagnostic chimes (the startup noises are really chimes, right? :-)
  mean, and allow you to play them to 'ear train' yourself to their
  meanings.

  I suspect the program is at Sumex somewhere.  Try looking for 'diag'
  as a keyword.
