Not sure what you mean by second disc? The installer image is a NETINST
ISO, it only comes on one disc.

Yes, that's because of missing firmware. As I said, I am working on that.

No, there is also an issue with vim not being installable because it
didn't build on the buildds and had to build it manually. I have done
that and that issue will be fixed, too. I noticed that issue when
