The FAQ is supposed to refer to the most recent release (currently 7.0) but on this occasion it seems to have jumped the gun. fw_update was rewritten as a shell script after 7.0 and the -F feature is only included there. I suggest doing the install from install70.img/.iso which includes all the file sets, then copy the relevant firmware on another system from http://firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/, transfer via a USB storage device, and use fw_update -p to point to the file. For versions up to 7.0 you just need the XXX-firmware-x.y.tgz file, fw_update checks the signature which is internal to the tgz file when you install the firmware. For 7.0-current and newer you also need to download SHA256.sig.
