-p path
Use the firmware found at path, being either a local directory or
a URL, instead of the default location.
You gave it the path to the file, not the path to the directory where
it should look for firmware packages. Also, putting the package file
in /etc/fireware/ is just confusing; move it elsewhere and add it from
that directory:
# mv /etc/firmware/radeondrm-firmware-20131002p0.tgz /root
# fw_update -n -v /root
