Uh? Which are those proprietary drivers needed to mount the root
filesystem? AFAICT, Linux-libre is able to mount almost any
filesystem, from almost any existing storage device, without requiring
any proprietary binary blob at all.

The only problem here is supporting some wifi devices and some video
cards. The only non-free binary blob I have installed is iwlwifi,
which is not at all needed at boot.
