On Macintosh OS X systems,, if you are at the front boot screen of the 
install screen long enough without touching/typing anything, the screen 
reader software starts up and asks if you need a screen reader.  I 
forget exactly how that works, as I'm sighted, but I could go figure it 
out if it helped someone.

Paul, did you get this figured out? We can work together off list if you 
need more help.

With Love,
Tara
