This silenced indeed the boot message about the missing firmware.

It's a mix of server and desktop.

I decided to install the firmware because each boot reports an ACPI BERT
error record which was written by some firmware during the previous
uptime (or at its very end).
Regrettably the message did not vanish and leaves me clueless what
firmware wanted to report what problem.

Thanks for the help.

Have a nice day :)
