New Debian Install - HELP!

I just downloaded two recent install CD's for Debian Lenny; one from
June of this year (Beta 2) and a testing image dated today Oct 9th.  I
have a speakout synth hooked up on ttyS0 and am using it at this very
moment.  But alas, I cannot get it to work with these Debian boot
disks.  The command I'm using is 
install speakup.synth=spkout
I tried this with and without pressing tab first.  In all cases, I get
no speech.  I saw in the f8.txt that speakup could be used but in
parentheses, they said graphical installer only so I also tried 
installgui speakup.synth=spkout
Again, no speach then either.  What could be wrong here? I thought
these latest CD's would have kernels compatible with Speakup.  Do I
still have to go out and boot with a dedicated boot disk like Samuel's
disk?

Thanks for helping.
