On a new Debian 7 install we need to remotely install the O/S via the DRAC card using the virtual media mechanism. To get the BNX firmware (which is non-free) you need to create an IMG file so that you can pass it as a virtual floppy disk to the DRAC card. Here is a useful download containing:

- firmware-bnx2_0.36+wheezy.1_all.deb
- firmware-bnx2x_0.36+wheezy.1_all.deb

You can [download the IMG file here](/images/downloads/nonfree-firmware-bnx.img).
