I recently had cause to re-read 
https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/ch06s04.en.html
and tried to follow the instructions, and I ended up with a firmware.zip
on a FAT filesystem, which d-i is not able to find firmware in.

The instructions assume that the user will unpack the zip or tarball
they download, but they don't say to do so. There's an implicit
assumption that the user won't consider firmware.zip to be a
firmware file. Also that the user knows how to extract zip files or
tarballs or what any of these file types are. 

I guess if I got it wrong, plenty of other users will get it wrong.
