Hi Bjoern
It say " firmware notfound , install failed " in the
dialoge and then moves on to the next step.
User is not informed why this happend. But after I later
grepped the whole ports tree after "firmware"
it was obvioulsy not available. One may expect that the
firmware would exist if installation is attempted.

Hi Lars,

-------------------
Installer made a guess from info found on Motherboard
and tried to install a firmware that does not exist . ( yet )
H/W is the ASROCK TRX50 motherboard. with
MediaTek 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E Module.
Is the bsdinstaller expected to guess at what Firmware
can be installed ?
fwget(8) already knows about it but the install media likely only has
the firmware
for drivers which we already support in that release (tried to be
conservative at
some point).
Does it just give an error and move on? I believe I wrote the
bsdinstall bits
in a way that it installs firmware one by one just for these cases
where a
firmware package does not exist it will still install all the others.
Not sure
if that all still is the case?
