on the side of boot-disks.
Debian uses 2 disk nowadays, oen rescue-disk adn a root-disk.
The root.bin is a compressed image of an ext2 filesystem
do
- mv root.bin root.bin.gz
- gunzip root.bin.gz
- mount if via loopback-device
- compile a staticly-linked brltty-binary
- set the install-dirs to your mountpoint where you mounted the image-file
- make install
- edit /etc/init.d/rc.d (filename could be slightly diffeerent, I'm doing
this from memory) and include /sbin/brltty call near the top
- umount it
- gzip it again
- rename to remove the .gz
- dd it to a floppy
This obviously only works on a running system ofcourse.
