Hi, I had approximately the same results. I could not read titles, footers, check boxes or highlighted items in Braille; they came out as all question marks. I could read most of the non-highlighted items. Since the cursor (still!) hangs out on the line below the highlighted one just like in Red Hat 8 install, it further adds to the interest. Fortunately with a combination of Braille and Optacon and sweat I muddled through to victory. Other consoles were completely question marks; I don't think I tried the Optacon on them. I was afraid it was the way I built the hacked initrd. Glad (well, sad!) I'm not the only one with the problem. Apparently they're not really going into text mode; the screen is 29 lines high, though still 80 columns. Maybe it's missing Braille font maps or something...
