James, If you used the official media without firmware: add contrib and non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list and try and install the firmware / boot with the unofficial non-free .iso, use this as rescue medium and install the appropriate non-free firmware you may need. If all else fails, give us more details of your system to help us debug for you :) All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
