One theory of what's going on here is that the machine is trying to boot
from the network.  Where does your Debian boot image reside?  If it
resides on your hard drive, the solution would be to intervene early in
the boot to enter BIOS setup and change the boot order to put hard drive
ahead of network.

Does the screen-reader show BIOS setup output?

   Email is the culmination of communication.  Voice, and all else, if
   done at all, is ephemeral preliminary to the email.  Email provides
   escape from the tyranny of forced extemporization.
