The speakupmodified.org site states that I should follow the instructions up to the point where I type at the boot prompt.  Does this include down arrowing and hitting tab and space?  What, exactly, do these keystrokes do?

I should probably remove references to the boot prompt as there is now a
menu where there actually used to be a command line prompt.

Yes, you do want to do the TAB and space thing. It starts you down the
path of a text based installation, and puts a space at the end of the
command. You then continue by specifying the parameters you need to
specify, telnet, perhaps your's ethernet device's mac address with
ksdevice=, etc.

Note that you can avoid this piece of non speaking difficulty if your
computer will boot from a USB memory stick.. If so, you can simply add
those parameters to the appropriate section of the syslinux.cfg file on
the stick using any good text editor. Then, when you boot, you simply
wait for your computer to come on line--to respond to the ping--at which
point you're ready to telnet to it.
