[Bug 36812] Radeon fails to load firmware

The box is usually headless; when I first got it the missing firmware prevented booting, so I added radeon.modeset=0 to the grub config and manually changed that for those occasions when I moved the box to the TV. Today I changed the grub config in honour of the upcoming 3.0. ☺

(That it boots now even though it fails to load that firmware is a nice progression.)

My best guess, based on the timestamps of my .config archive, is that I last connected it to the TV during the 38-rc1 timeframe.
