Look for BRLTTY in google. I think that as Grub is a very low-level prog, it won't be accessible via braille display. But taking care of arrow moving (to choose) should work well. What I don't know it's if Grub can load ntkernels - lilo can't, and I personally had to customize the boot.ini file to have multiboot (see NT+Linux howto).
