In order to start the Debian installer from DOS mode, you must have
both the HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE drivers loaded.  If HIMEM.SYS isn't
already loaded from your C:\CONFIG.SYS file, add this line to
CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS

Then if EMM386.EXE isn't being loaded from CONFIG.SYS, add this line:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS

Alternatively, you can boot your computer into a command prompt in
safe mode.  To do this, you press F8 as soon as the computer starts
booting from the hard disk.  Then you'll get a menu where you can
choose "Safe mode, command prompt only".  But you can't get any speech
or Braille output at this point, so you'll probably need sighted
assistance.
