I just got a new computer with UEFI, and I used sighted assistance to disable it in the BIOS, and to activate legacy boot. Also, if you want to change the boot order, such as setting the SATA drive as the last option, you can do that at this time, and with some systems, it will not show other options unless you have them plugged in at this time. For example, I did not have the SD boot option until I went into boot settings in BIOS with the SD card plugged in. HTH.

The installer appears, and indeed the installation can be completed with a braille display. Oh, when a USB soundcard is connected (just in case the system's card isn't detected) no sound is heard either. Speakup comes up on a machine that has legacy boot available, and indeed, we even get the beep from the boot loader. How can we get speakup to run during the installer, assuming that such an option is available anyway? The image was downloaded from the website, and was located at http://gemmei.acc.umu.se/debian-cd/8.2.0/amd64/iso-dvd/ Sorry to sound dum and so forth.
