Good to know it works! I will create a new howto at some point which explains how
to create installation images so that anyone can do that on their own when they
want to test fixes for d-i or debian-cd.

I still haven't figured out yet how to include the missing firmware in debian-cd,
setting FORCE_FIRMWARE in debian-cd isn't enough as the Debian Ports mirror doesn't
include anything from the non-free section.
