Dunno if this helps but Brltty is part of the new etch install. If you have a braille display you can go to the second console with Alt-F2, press ENTER to activate the console and type: brltty -bauto -d/dev/ttyS1 (for com2:) Or brltty -bauto -d/dev/ttyUSB0 (for the first usb-to-serial converter the kernel drivers find.) Yesterday I tried this with Com1 and com2 and then two different usb-to-serial converters, and it works great. If you don't have a braille display you can try GRML which is able to use debootstrap and launch an automated install of etch. --Debee
