| Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware to operate. Debian does 
| not recommend using non-free software, which is why it is not provided 
| in the installer. Please read more about this at nonfree.org.
|
| Since some of the missing functionality may be important to you or even 
| essential in order to continue this installation you are now given the 
| opportunity to provide the firmware yourself.
|
| The firmware can be loaded from removable media, such as USB stick or 
| floppy.
