Hi,
I'm having a rough time trying to get the non-free firmware to load
automatically in the debian wheezy rc1 installer, when installing on a
ThinkPad T40.
According to the documentation I've read, all I should need to do is
download the firmware.tar.gz file and put it on a USB key. I've used
unetbootin to make the same USB key bootable into the wheezy install
CD (CD 1, not netinst).
But it gets stuck in a loop, continually asking if I want to load the
firmware.
Two questions:
1) Am I doing this correctly? Do I need to put this file in a special
directory? Is it not possible to put the firmware on the same
USB key that I'm booting from?
2) Where in the debian-installer source code would I look for the code that
expands the firmware.tar.gz file? I've downloaded the svn/git
tree, but it's pretty large. I've only found a few references
to firmware.tar in the code so far.
Thanks!
- Chris
