The new boot sequence on the Lucid Live CD is very cool, if you're not blind. Instead of bringing up console based text to ask your language whether you want to install or just try Ubuntu, it boots directly into a gnome session where it asks the same questions in a nice graphical form with a pretty background image. However, accessibility options have not yet been ported from the initial console screen to the new graphical form. Instead, for a few seconds during boot, a graphic is displayed on the screen that indicates you need to press a key to access accessibility options. If you press a key while this graphic is displayed, it takes you to the old boot menu, where you can do the old sequence to get Orca talking.
