Here's the best I can do on short notice.
as code
movb $0xb6,%al # 10110110 chan 2 lsb,msb squarewave binary
outb %al,$0x43 # timer control port
movw count,%ax
outb %al,$0x42 # chanel 2 counter latch lsb
movb $ah,$al
outb %al,$0x42 # chanel 2 counter latch msb
# not certain about next lines
inb $0x61,%al
orb $3,%al # set bits 0,1
outb %al,$0x61 # turn on speeker (b 1?) and enable timer output (b 0?)
#wait a while
inb $0x61,%al
andb $0xfc,%al # clear bits 0,1
outb %al,$0x61 # turn of speeker (b 1?) and disable timer output (b 0?)

count is determined by 1193180/freq

hope this helps (not certain about port 0x61 and order of the bits 
but bits 0 and 1 are the right ones to use)

Bill
