Yes, you can have speakup loaded even before the root file system
comes up, if you're using an initrd which contains speakup built as
modules. Basically, the behavior would be as if speakup was built into
the kernel, except that speakup is built as modules in this case, and
the kernel doesn't need to be rebuilt to include speakup.
