I don't understand why you think removing the brltty boot option is so bad. As a fellow blind systems administrator, that makes little sense to me. Its easier to start brltty after booting is finished. Otherwise, you have to get the timing just right. With the latest grml release, you don't even have to guess when booting is finished. It plays a tone when its done. So wait for the tone, press 'q' to quit the quick help menu, and type 'brltty'.
The only reason why starting brltty at the isolinux prompt could be important is if you need access to the boot messages. But if you really need access to the boot messages, you can use a serial console. And if you really, really need braille during the boot process, you can always make your own CD via grml-live.

Hi.
I have already complain about the removal of the brltty boot option in the new release.
Now, I realise that the new grml is nomore suitable as host system to build linuxfromscratch ; previously I recommanded it as livecd for this purpous but now, important packages are missing...
It's sad.
