Get sighted assistence.

Or if you are very adventurous and have one around, use an optacon as a friend of mine does.

BIOS is accessed before any operating system loads and there is therefore no way to run a screenreader at this time.

Some people have had some success connecting a braille display using a parallel port, i hear but I don't know anyone personally who accesses their BiOS that way.

Finally, there is a $$$ gadget called a "weasle card" that can send bios information to a second computer running a screenreader but this would be a rather pricey way to access one's bios.

Cheers,

Doris
