Bug#776519: No change in symptoms when Debian i386 rc1 installed over system C.



I installed Debian jessie i386 rc1 on top of system c, replacing jessie i386 DI-2 i386 system.

After doing a option-poweron on the iMac, it still boots Debian wheezy system b.

P.S. -
	I did this hardwired, because I'm not able to load the Broadcom b43 wifi firmware off a flash drive.
	Before the DI-2 system was overwritten, I made a tar ball of /lib/firmware/b43 and untarr'd it in	
	various directories on the flash drive.

	Preparation under Debian i386 DI-2 system:
		cd /lib/firmware
       		 tar -cvf ~/b43.tar b43
     		cd /flashdrive
       		mkdir b43
     		 tar -xvf  ~/b43.tar
      		mv b43 b43-open
     		tar -xvf  ~/b43.tar

	When I booted the rc1 net install, it prompted for the firmware about 5 times.
		That is the same firmware files 5 times in a row.
	I told it to load the firmware off the flash drive, and it didn't find it.

	Either the bug still exists or I have some kind of preparation error.
