Boot a Debian firmware-nonfree netinstall USB device with GRUB2
Problem at booting Windows from GRUB2 menu made by Debian for itselfGrub - boot debian iso file from ntfs partition and install itDebian 8 Jessie CD-image-based liveUSB/installer won't boot in UEFI mode with 32-bit UEFI firmwareFixing firmware - Debian 8.5 fresh install on Toshiba SatelliteHow to install TPLink721n on debian stretch?grub2-install generate different boot entry than the BIOS configurationHow do I install “non-free firmware” (wifi driver) from USB?Can't get grub2 menu to displayDebian Firmware from cdimage.debian.org vs from manufacturerHow to use proprietary wireless drivers during Debian USB install?
I have an Apple MacMini Intel running a Debian Stretch (no BIOS-like boot list, just standard GRUB2).
I would like to boot on a USB device to set a fresh new installation, with the latest firmware-nonfree netinstall.
I add a custom entry to the GRUB2 menu like this (on a regular Debian session) :
$ sudo vi /etc/grub.d/40_custom
menuentry "Debian Netinstall (USB)"
set root=(hd0)
linux /debian/install.amd/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1 ro
initrd /install.amd/initrd.gz
This allow me to run the text mode installer, directly to the language choice, but with a red painted backgroud (not the usual color for this netinstaller).
The problem came after the network config : I need to feed my wlan deice with the b43/* firmwares.
This USB device loaded with this Netinstall image was OK for installing a laptop (iwlwifi* firmware needed) earlier in the week. On a standard BIOS bootlist.
I try some stuff to feed installer with the asked firmwares :
- using the installer shell to
mount /cdrom/firmware/ /lib/firmware/ - using another USB key with the
firmwaredirectory of the netinstall image - using another USB key with the specific files asked (found here)
None of this worked and the installer keep ask for the firmwares...
Questions :
- How can I feed the installer with the asked files?
- How can I set GRUB2 custom entry to run installer from the begining (the first menu asking for the kind of installation)?
- Why the background is red?
