If a braille display is hooked up to the port where you send lilo with the
serial command I described and that braille display has no trouble reading
the text the computer normally outputs, I will be highly surprised if you
fail to read your boot menu.On Wed, 25 Nov 2009, mattias wrote:

With lilo, in the particular section you want to use to connect to the
other device a statement like: serial 0,9600n8 <enter> would connect com1:
or ttyS0: at 9600 baud with no parity and an 8 bit character length. If
that statement is one of those in the global section it has the effect of
speaking the boot screen and allowing the user to choose which of the
types of boot to use provided a hardware speech synthesizer is used likely
with a braille display the boot menu will come up on the braille display.
What if anything it will do for software speech I don't know.On Tue, 24

I don't know anything about lilo so I can't say which is more

with grub, you can configure a serial console so your boot menu can be
displayed on another machine connected via a null modem cable.
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600
terminal serial

Subject: Accessibility of grub or lilo
Hello:
I will soon be taking a course that will require me to use a dual
boot
system. We will be running Redhat and Windows XP. My question is which
dual
boot loader is more accessible grub or lilo? Thank you.
Regards,
Robert Jaquiss
