James,
If you used the official media without firmware: add contrib and non-free
to your /etc/apt/sources.list and try and install the firmware / boot with
the unofficial non-free .iso, use this as rescue medium and install the
appropriate non-free firmware you may need.
If all else fails, give us more details of your system to help us debug
for you :)
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
