You attempted to *mount*? What exactly did you try to do apart from putting the firmware file (or deb package for the record) on a removable medium and hit Enter when prompted for firmware? If you tried some manual actions in a shell in VT2, that might be the cause of the problem. If you just did what's instructed (put the files on a floppy, USB stick or CD, then hit Enter), then something went wrong, really..:-) In such case, after seeing the error message that the media can't be located, could you switch to VT2 (Alt+F2), then check if something is mounted on /media... If something is, try listing its content. If not, try: list-devices floppy list-devices maybe-usb-floppy list-devices cd And then try: mountmedia floppy mountmedia driver And check what's happening..:-) (please note that I'm not familiar with that part of the code so it might need time before we narrow the problem, while someone more knowledgeable in that area would be more precise...)
