That's because the installer is now using the qla2xxx module for the
Blade's controller, and that module doesn't work without a binary
firmware.

What you need to do is just switching to a console (alt+f2), wget the
qlogic firmware, install it, and re-load the qla2xxx module.

wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-qlogic_0.3_all.deb
udpkg -i firmware-qlogic_0.3_all.deb

modprobe -r qla2xxx
modprobe qla2xxx

ciao,
