We just tired that, and I'm afraid it just doesnt fit onto the root.bin.
But if you dont mind using three disks, I developed
a method to load brltty from a separate disk.
Check ftp://ftp.tugraz.at/incoming/debian
for the files I just sent over to kajarii for first time
real-world testing. I tested the procedure in theory
(without having a brailledisplay connect) and it worked.
The whole idea is that we load brltty via tar
from a disk directly. The only modification
I made to root.bin is essentially editing /etc/init.d/rcS and
inserting
echo "Please insert BRLTTY disk and press ENTER"
read ret 1 </dev/console
cd /
tar xf /dev/fd0
/sbin/brltty
So, read the file INSTALL in the ftp directory,
and try it. Please tell me if that worked for you, and if
it is a useable solution at all.
