Yes, when you boot the installer, I just did this Friday night and I have a 
braille note classic. Boot the disk, wait for it to stop spinning, then type

this boot command

install brltty=bn,ttyS0,en_us

that will get you going let me know if that doesn't but it did for me. 
Remember that I used a net install CD for Etch which by the way is terrible 
for up to date packages...but that should get you up and running.

After your o/s is installed which btw the process is a piece of cake, your 
system will boot up from the hard drive and brltty will automatically start 
up with your braille note. When using the review commands on the braille 
note:

dots 1 and 4 move the display by character, dots 2 and 5 move by line, which

is all I needed to install.

  So I have my new Dell power edge server running debian 4.0 via terminal 
and a desktop with the same, but the gnome desktop and the latest orca 
didn't want to play nicely together so I'll have to find another distro to 
install so I can use both terminal and gui. Maybe Fedora, however I'll play 
around with it.
