The firmware directory in the root of the ISO image is just full of
symbolic links to files elsewhere on the media. Looking at the
contents of firmware-10.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso locally, I get:
$ ls -al /mnt/firmware/

If you're looking at the ISO from another OS (e.g. Windows), you won't
see those symlinks.
What exact problems are you seeing with your installation, please?
