There is another way that I have done the boot up here it is.  One put the
cd in let it spin up five seconds.  Press enter.  Wait for the ubuntu sound
thirty seconds or so.  Pres left alt+f2, then type orca.  Go through the
setup close.  Now prescont+alt+backspace.  Finally press left alt+f2 type
orca.  Now you have orca. 
Later
Scott

That's correct. 5 seconds is probably good. The CD starts quite quickly and
then there is a 30 second break during which you must press F5 or it just
boots 'normally' without speech.

btw -- we've had a lot of feedback on this point and will test a starting
sound in the next version that beeps when you should press a key.
