Hi Alex, I installed 11.04 a few days ago in VBox and it went pretty well. I booted up the machine, then started tapping the spacebar for about twenty seconds to get the keyboard language screen up, from there I hit F5, followed by the number 3 on the number row, then enter. That enables accessibility and Orca. Within about a minute or so, the desktop loaded automatically and Orca came up talking. It was in GNOME2 since I disabled 3D in my VM so I could use GNOME; I've not tried Unity yet.
The first time I booted the CD I don't think I was quick enough to get accessibility support enabled as it just loaded the desktop and Orca did not speak. Installation was not too painful, just hit enter on the Install icon on the desktop. Orca didn't tell me when it was finished but I just hit the enter key and it restarted into the new system.
