1 Screen reader users will want to uncomment the GRUB-TUNE line in
2 /etc/default/grub and then run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg if for
3 no other reason they get an indication their computer is willing to boot
4 before the screen reader comes on.
5 A friend has a system without a pc speaker so pcspkr can't be used on it.
6 We found putting an aplay command inside of /etc/rc.local pointing at a
7 sound file got him that sound before his screen reader came up and a bonus
8 in that since the sound played over the sound card he knew that the sound
9 card would work and his screen reading goes out over that sound card. If
10 a problem happens with the sound card he'll know before his screen reader
11 comes up and has a chance to correct it.
