/lib/firmware is only needed if you have some hardware which needs a
precompiled binary firmware to be loaded into the kernel before it will
work. The linux firmware project supports a lot of hardware (I would
point you to a url but kernel org is still down, is it gone for good?).
/lib/udev/devices/pts is an empty directory that the udev bootscript
used to copy into /dev to allow a tmpfs to be mounted on /dev/pts.
Without it terminal emulators (roxterm, gnome terminal) won't work for me.
