Source: installation-guide Severity: normal I recently had cause to re-read https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/ch06s04.en.html and tried to follow the instructions, and I ended up with a firmware.zip on a FAT filesystem, which d-i is not able to find firmware in.
The instructions assume that the user will unpack the zip or tarball they download, but they don't say to do so. There's an implicit assumption that the user won't consider firmware.zip to be a firmware file. Also that the user knows how to extract zip files or tarballs or what any of these file types are. I guess if I got it wrong, plenty of other users will get it wrong. -- see shy jo
