Have you tried including "swspeak" on the boot command line as well as 
running it after the system boots?  Remember that software speech won't 
speak boot messages.  You have to run the swspeak command once you're 
logged in as is clearly documented in the cheat codes on grml.org and I 
think on the CD itself.
