Maybe it'd be worth having an option to allow a user to tether a mobile phone via USB to grab the firmware online.This is automatic if the phone emulates a USB-ethernet adapter.Perhaps the prompt should say "We can download the firmware automatically if you are able to use an alternative connection, such as mobile tethering", although I wonder how this would work for non-free firmware.
Sorry, there was a misunderstanding. I meant that a tethered phone can be used as a network interface to download packages during the installation, but not to download firmware for the installer itself.
Also, a cdrom: entry was added to sources.list even though I installed from USB.Because both contain the same ISO image so have the same data structure.But Debian was looking for these files at /media/cdrom - would the installation USB be re-mounted at this location?
Not automatically (unless you create an appropriate udev rule or fstab entry), but you can do it manually.
