Subject: Building a kernel without /lib/firmware

Hi,

I noticed another thread mentioning that it is possible to ignore the
firmware that comes with the kernel.  Unfortunately, the current build
process doesn't make this easy.

I'm trying to build 2.6.28.7, and I have the following firmware related
config:

[cdfrey@...ntdesk linux]$ grep -i firmware .config
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=""
# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID is not set
# CONFIG_SND_WAVEFRONT_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set
# Firmware Drivers
# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP is not set

[cdfrey@...ntdesk linux]$ grep -i fw_loader .config
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m

What else do I need to turn off in order for a 'make modules_install' to
skip the firmware_install?

Thanks,
- Chris
