Well first add your options in /etc/brltty.conf
Make sure braille works from a text-console and then in orca.
Once you are sure braille works, get it to start at boot-up: this is 
usually achieved by editing  one of your startup scripts.
I personally use /etc/init.d/rcS but I'm sure people will disagree, I just 
use it because it works for me.
Then add a call to brltty, supplying any command line options if required, 
but you should have all this set up in /etc/brltty.conf for convenience.
