BRLTTY can be started as the very first step of the boot sequence. It's on-line
manual describes how to do this, i.e. with a sysinit entry in inittab. That's
probably about the best that can be hoped for with a software solution, and,
since most people these days don't have an ISA video card, they wouldn't be
able to use Papenmeier's hardware solution anyway.
