[Server-devel] Firmware install

[Tony Anderson]

Hi,

We had this experience in Lesotho where we were rarely working directly 
from the mains. However, if the firmware is not installed, the message 
will appear on each subsequent boot. I am not sure that the battery 
charge is an issue. The firmware installs when the laptop detects that 
it is running from an AC adapter.
