Mute the sound before you shut down and you shouldn't get the chime when you boot up the next time.

If that doesn't suit your needs, you can use a third-party program like Psst or StartupSound.prefPane.
Nope, not the only way. How about simply holding down the mute button before hitting the power button? Works just fine on my powerbook.

Yep, the Mac startup chime ALWAYS comes out of the Mac's internal speakers (even on the desktops - they all have internal speakers).oscarfrancis said:

At the last few Lan parties, one of my friends who is using a mac just laughs at people when they look at his system when he powers up and the mac chime kicks in....
He just looks at them and says... "Mac means sh#t just works... no fuss no muss..."
