The following worked for me. Well, I should say I got no errors, I was 
able  to install and boot the kernel it made, and I was able to start 
speakup woth a tripletalk external synth. However, it did seem to hang my 
machine. But I'm working on that soekris computer that has no video. I 
don't know how to get a console that does *not* use the serial 
port.  Ironic, eh?
