Well, using extended works for me while the stuff is being loaded.  I
can press the numpad-period and speakup speaks "line 50 col 1 tty1"
but right about the time the rc.d scripts finish up their thing, It
reverts back to saying "line 25...".  That's why I think something is
getting in the way later on after the boot sequence.
