            Bug ID: 287654
           Summary: bsdinstall: fwget failure silently results in
                    non-working Wi-Fi
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

If bsdinstall's `pkg install` for a firmware package fails an error very
briefly blinks on the screen but the install immediately proceeds w/o the
firmware getting installed.

This was observed while testing today's 15-CURRENT installer in an environment
where the Wi-Fi has a captive portal, so DHCP is successful but internet access
is not functional.

>From usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/firmware:
# Install each of the selected firmware packages
for fw in ${selected}; do
        # We install one at a time in case one is not avail.
        # pkg-install.8 needs an option to skip unavail.
        ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=YES chroot $BSDINSTALL_CHROOT pkg install -qy ${fw}
done
