List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2018 02:52:57 -0000 The Debian installer manual says that you can access rescue mode with = accessibility. Quoted text: # # # 5.2.9.=A0Expert install, rescue mode, automated install Expert, Rescue, and Automated installation choices are also available with = accessibility support. To access them, one has to first enter the = =93Advanced options=94 submenu from the boot menu by typing a. When using = a BIOS system (the boot menu will have beeped only once), this has to be = followed by Enter. Then, to enable speech synthesis, s can optionally be = pressed (followed again by Enter when using a BIOS system). From there, = various shortcuts can be used: x for expert installation, r for rescue = mode, or a for automated installation. When using a BIOS system, they = must be followed by Enter. # # # Okay, that's great, but what about a UEFI system? I installed Debian, and I was watching the braille display during grub = installation. It said Running 'grub-install dummy' Why is it running dummy instead of /dev/sda1 or whatever the efi partition = is? When booting the installed system, what comes up is a grub rescue prompt. I thought I would try this fix: https://superuser.com/questions/1154866/unable-to-install-grub-in-dummy-on-debian-stretch-in-dell-precision-5510 Can you still insert your Deibian installer flash drive, press tab, and type brltty=3Dauto rescue/enable=3Dtrue when it comes up?
