This isn't correct. Grub has a command line mode. Just push 'c'. Grub
also supports installation via a serial line, which would allow for
external text to speach boxes to function. As far as I know, LILO never
supporter braille displays.
My father is a blind Linux user (he is the current maintainer of BRLTTY,
for reference) who uses grub as a boot loader.
If you are talking about headless booting (as opposed to blind users),
I suspect that this is easy to configure as well with grub...
Why would you *not* use grub? Take a look at the features it provides
far above and beyond what lilo provides...
