I've tried options 5-8, and a full install with mate and xfce on
VirtualBox, and a full install with mate on physical hardware. All
works as expected, including braille display support.

I haven't been able to test how this works under UEFI in
VirtualBox. Either the ISO doesn't boot under VirtualBox's UEFI
implementation, or the procedure described above works differently in
some way under UEFI than it does under legacy BIOS. If the above
description works the same way under UEFI, then the text above could
be appended to say "system with legacy BIOS and UEFI." If this works in
a different way under UEFI, then someone with a UEFI system will need
to describe the steps to get options 5-8 going on a UEFI system.
