You appear to have done everything correctly but my brain is not in gear yet :) so, avoiding any debugging process, try this to get you going: After installing the base system switch to tty2 and mkdir /lib/firmware Then mount the device which holds the firmware files (the files themselves, not a .deb) and transfer them to /lib/firmware. Proceed with the installation.
