I just got a new computer with UEFI, and I used sighted assistance to
disable it in the BIOS, and to activate legacy boot.
Also, if you want to change the boot order, such as setting the SATA drive
as the last option, you can do that at this time, and with some systems, it
will not show other options unless you have them plugged in at this time.
For example, I did not have the SD boot option until I went into boot
settings in BIOS with the SD card plugged in.
HTH.

Subject: Installing Debian Jessie under Uefi; installer does not speak
Hi, this has probably been asked previously: I have a system that will only
boot using Uefi (don't ask) and it seems that the dvd's boot screen appears,
according to someone with sight, but when typing the s option, it is
ignored? The installer appears, and indeed the installation can be completed
with a braille display. Oh, when a USB soundcard is connected (just in case
the system's card isn't detected) no sound is heard either.
Speakup comes up on a machine that has legacy boot available, and indeed, we
even get the beep from the boot loader. How can we get speakup to run during
the installer, assuming that such an option is available anyway?
The image was downloaded from the website, and was located at

Sorry to sound dum and so forth.
Marcel
