Hi,
I have an issue with missing non-free firmware for ....
way to upload the missing firmware with IPXE?
into
initrd ${base-url}/initrd.gz
initrd tftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed
/tmp/debian_buster_node.seed
initrd URL://server.subdomain.tld/path/firmware/bnx.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw
What do you mean by this line:
initrd URL://server.subdomain.tld/path/firmware/bnx.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw
should the URL point to the local firmware file on the ipxe server, after
coping it to /srv/tftp/ folder, something like this:
initrd tftp:///my.ipxe.server/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw
Yes, indeed. Simular as you did with the preseed file.
( See also https://ipxe.org/cmd/initrd )
and see what happens.
Please share your results.
Thanks

Unfortunately it is not working. I put the firmware file in /tmp and /mnt.
I tied to put the deb file in /tmp, /mnt/,
I treid with tar.gz and zip file but nothing, still complaining about missing
firmware.
Is there a way to cat the cpio firmware file to the end of the initrd.gz?
The installer seem not to find the firmware file.
I could fix it and upload the missing non-free firmware by adding the following
line to my menu.ipxe:
initrd
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/buster/current/firmware.cpio.gz
Thanks for reporting back.
It will take a while before I can test something like
initrd tftp:///my.ipxe.server/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw
Any confirms on
yes
initrd http://my.server/path/initrd.gz
initrd http://my.server/path/foobar.fw /lib/firmware/foobar.fw
works for me. Kernel does find the foobar.fw at /lib/firmware
?

It didn't work for me, I don't know why. I took a look to the file
system and there is no directory /lib/firmware. I can tested again and
see if I can make it work. The cpio file is more convenient for me,
since I just need to add the URL for the archive. Any way I'll test it
tomorrow at work.
Thanks
