There is another way that I have done the boot up here it is. One put the cd in let it spin up five seconds. Press enter. Wait for the ubuntu sound thirty seconds or so. Pres left alt+f2, then type orca. Go through the setup close. Now prescont+alt+backspace. Finally press left alt+f2 type orca. Now you have orca.

The CD starts quite quickly and then there is a 30 second break during which you must press F5 or it just boots 'normally' without speech. btw -- we've had a lot of feedback on this point and will test a starting sound in the next version that beeps when you should press a key.
