redhat 9 install

[Cody Hurst]

Hi all I know this is a bit outdated, but I have downloaded the shrike  
3 cd set and am trying to install but yet again, the stupid boot  
commands are really annoying me. I am using the following I found on a  
fedora wiki

text speakup_synth=bns speakup_ser=0

is this right? If so, why am I not getting speech? The cabling /  
settings on my bns are fine. Actually I'm using a blazer but same  
difference. Thanks for any help.
