install-amd64-minimal-20220403T220339Z.iso when gentoo-nofb got used for kernel selection and speakup.synth=soft as boot parameter I got as far as setting a root password then speakup crashed. The other thing I didn't see that happened was two returns were needed to get speakup talking at all once the boot line got keyed in. I'll try the standard gentoo kernel next and see if I can duplicate behavior.
