I figured that it might be possible to somehow link in the firmware but
I have no idea how to do it. That's why I wanted to try a flash drive or
USB hard drive given I could easily modify the distribution. (If I were
really smart I could spin my own distro with the firmware - but if that
were the case I wouldn't be here asking these questions.)
