These services can be +enabled at boot by pressing `s` in the bootloader menu to enable accessibility +support. On UEFI-based systems, GRUB is the bootloader, and it will play a +two-tone chime when the menu is available. On BIOS-based systems and UEFI +systems in legacy/compatibility mode, SYSLINUX is the bootloader, and no chime +is played. SYSLINUX also requires pressing the enter key after pressing `s`. The +hotkey `r` will also boot with accessibility support, but will load the live ISO +into RAM. + +After booting into the installer image with accessibility support enabled, if +there are multiple soundcards detected, a short audio menu allows for the +selection of the soundcard for the screenreader.
