Split install.img into install.img + firmware.img?  I think we already
have support for multiple images (I see requests for updates.img when
watching httpd logs while doing network installs), so the split should
be easy.  The somewhat more tricky part is probably to figure whenever
we need the firmware or not.

take care,
