If I install pcspkr in the kernel I have been able to log in then hit backspace and have the speaker beep. Also When I have uncommented the TUNE line in /etc/default/grub and then run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg I had a beep from the pc speaker before I logged in, so yes, I got the system to boot. I need to do these extra steps since I'm the only one in the neighborhood with any Linux expertise and do not have sighted assistance readily available and I've never seen anything in this life.
