[BRLTTY] Trying to boot debian etch ppc netinstall with brltty

[Cheryl Homiak]

I was hoping to repartition a powerpc mac mini and dual boot 
linux and Macosx. I had read that there was support for brltty in the etch 
netinst but although it sounds to me like the cd is booting I can not get 
brltty to start. I am using a Keyspan USA19H serial-usb converter. Of 
course I'm not going to repartition my hard drive and reinstall macosx 
unless I know I can get the debian etch netinst to work. My questions are:

(1) Am I correct in my understanding that I should be able to use brltty 
to install on a ppc, or are the images only there for using brltty after 
install?
2. Are the instructions for starting up brltty when booting the netinst 
the same for the ppc installer as for the i386 installer? I would think 
the answer would be Yes but want to cover all the bases.
3. I have tried bringing up brltty with ttyUSB0. is there anything else I 
should try?
4. Is there anything else I might be overlooking in trying to boot with 
brltty that I should consider.

Any help would be appreciated; TIA.
