Hi,
I have an issue with missing non-free firmware for Broadcom NetXtreme
II 10Gb 57710, version 7.13.1.0 (bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.0.fw). I am
trying to auto install Debian daily image on a Dell PowerEdge R630
using KVM console. Is there any way to upload the missing firmware
with IPXE?
Best regards
Found the mailinglist archive ;-)

I would go expanding the

initrdtftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed
/tmp/debian_buster_node.seed
into
initrd ${base-url}/initrd.gz
initrdtftp://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
and see what happens.
Please share your results.

Hi Geert,
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
Thanks
