That's how I installed archlinux.  To get speakup going on archlinux when
you boot and hear the tones, downarrow once then hit enter then wait.
Speakup should come up.  When it does and you're at the root prompt then
get highlight tracking on with speakup.  Then run archinstall and you
should find it much more verbal and workable.
In additional packages to get espeak-ng installed and able to work when
that prompt comes up you need to add espeakup espeak-ng and alsa-utils.
Once you get all other questions answered you'll be offered the
opportunity to chroot into your new system and customize things.  Do that
and in there systemctl enable espeakup and also enable dhcpcd systemctl
enable dhcpcd.
If none of that works then you got a bad copy of archlinux and need to
complain to your internet provider and have them fix your internet so that
doesn't happen again and by none of this I mean on boot downarrow then hit
enter at the tones if you don't get speech or the install breaks somewhere
else you may have made a bad choice but if packages install fails that's
definitely an internet provider screw up.
