I don't run vm's I have bare metal running slint for now here.  At this
point I can't recommend gentoo to anyone else using a screen reader for
independent accessible install experience  Even using nohdmi as a boot
parameter (I think that 's what I did) didn't help.  Something else I
don't know is if gentoo will operate accessibly whether a monitor is
turned on or not.
Without speaker clicks to let an installer know the boot prompt is up on
your screen put into the installer media this distribution would need
testing in an accessibility lab and those distros are at alpha level.  Has
anyone tried after boot to get to the path and directory where espeak
lives and started it up as a daemon?  Most I've managed is to get it to
speak only what I type and more than that is needed for a screen reader.
