I tried daily build images and want to confirm what Brian Potkin says in Message #46 of bug #683849: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/mini.iso This image just works. The missing firmware is properly detected, displayed and installed. http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/current/ia64/iso-cd/debian-testing-ia64-netinst.iso Here the missing firmware is detected and displayed, but not installed. When I provide a USB stick with the firmware and tell the installer to go ahead after a few seconds I get the same screen again. BTW, I'd also say that this is a duplicate of #683849.
