FreeBSD accessibility?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Tim here. It depends on the hardware you have. It can be booted with
a serial console, so if you have a Braille terminal or hardware that
presents as a serial port, you can make a modified installer image
that will do the entire install over the serial port as described here

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/installing-freebsd-over-serial-console.62005/

I've asked Devin Teske (the maintainer of the installer) whether the
entire installer is TUI/curses-based or if there's a more linear way
of doing it.  If I hear back, I'll follow-up here.

I know the *Open*BSD installer is very linear and is quite accessible
with the dumbest of serial consoles.

Once installed, at least the console should be pretty accessible.  I
haven't kicked the tires on the GUI with Orca yet.
