Firmware updates are exceptional and critical operations. They should not be left to unattended daemons.

Are you I find hard to believe that it would be necessary. It would mean an impossibility to update the firmware if the internal drive is dead or not detected. Most likely there was a more straightforward solution to update the firmware. If not, please share the brand of the computer so that I can avoid buying one in the future. > sure that unified kernel images will not become default before the user > replaces their drive?
