Dunno if this helps but Brltty is part of the new etch install. If you have
a braille display you can go to the second console with Alt-F2, press ENTER
to activate  the console and type:
	brltty -bauto -d/dev/ttyS1 (for com2:)
Or
	brltty -bauto -d/dev/ttyUSB0 (for the first usb-to-serial converter
the kernel drivers find.)

Yesterday I tried this with Com1 and com2 and then two different
usb-to-serial converters, and it works great.

If you don't have a braille display you can try GRML which is able to use
debootstrap and launch an automated install of etch.
