Looks like its just a blacklisting problem. We install bfa-firmware but 
only keep some of the actual files.

As a workaround you can edit common-minimizer.ks and add these lines and 
build the iso yourself. I'll be submitting a patch shortly and hopefully 
should make the 3.0 beta/release here soon.

keep /lib/firmware/cbfw.bin
keep /lib/firmware/ct2fw.bin
keep /lib/firmware/ctfw.bin
