I got the mini.iso from http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/ this morning. It detected and displayed the firmware that was missing. It also installed it to /lib/firmware when asked to. But the beta netboot image also does this, so how much does this tell us? The daily netinst image from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/current/i386/iso-cd/ was also downloaded. There is a change in behaviour from the beta image. Information about the missing firmware is given; the installer does not hang. However, after inserting a USB stick and telling it to go ahead, the previous screen is returned and the firmware is not installed. The logs are attached. I did check both images had the latest version of mountmedia.
