Here's a solution:
first install lilo. grub is still from what I understand development 
software therefore buggy. lilo is stable and easy to use.
to install lilo when you get to the part where your cursor is on 
install grub arow down 1 to install lilo.
after your computer reboots, complete the system config as best you 
can (you only need to go as far as completion of the configure users 
step.)
Switch to another tty with alt-f2 and open /etc/lilo.conf with nano or 
something. add the line
append="speakup_synth=xxx"
replacing xxx with your synth. run lilo. restart. you should be all 
set.
If someone knows a more ifficient way to do this I.E. specifying the 
parameters during the lilo install please tell me.
luckily the accent pc and my artic transport comunicate in a similar 
enough way I was able to get speach when I rebooted.
