 	  The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'
 	  that are used by various drivers. The recommended way to
-	  use these is to run "make firmware_install" and to copy the
-	  resulting binary files created in usr/lib/firmware/ of the
-	  kernel tree to /lib/firmware/ on your system so that they can
