1. The USB stick you boot from will have empty space or a secomd
partition.
There only one partition but there is lot of empty space
2. Extract the firmware files from the .deb and put them on the
stick.
It doesn't matter where I put right (on root location)? or need to have
special directory?
3. Boot and change to console 2: ALT-F2.
4. Mount the partition holding the firmware on /mnt.
This is tricky part as I mentioned, I only have one partition. Where I
can find my USB device location? try with `dh` command but that command
not working/available
5. Create /lib/firmware: mkdir /lib/firmware and transfer the
firmware there.
6. ALT-F1 to go back to d-i. d-i should now find the firmware.
You suggestion look like the most closest one, just need to find the
perfect way how to accomplish it
