My favourite is the Debian installer: if you have a USB braille display, it is
detected automatically during the boot process and BRLTTY is started so as to
make the installation procedure accessible. (There was a timing bug related to
this which Samuel Thibault was working on, but I don't know whether it has
been fixed yet.)

the point, however, is that no intervention is required; it just boots,
detects the braille display and executes BRLTTY.
