Default fw_update not found in OpenBSD 6.2 miniroot.fs usb

Hello everyone, i'm installing OpenBSD 6.2 with the "miniroot.fs" install with a usb pendrive, if i run

ifconfig -a

I get only "lo0" (loopback) and "re0" (ethernet interface) but when i run "fw_update -i" to get the device firmware i need to manually download, i get a "fw_update: not found"

Is the command "fw_update" not included in the miniroot.fs install image?

Try to find it, to check :

Code:
$ whereis fw_update
/usr/sbin/fw_update

So try to list it (find it manually)

You'll get
Code:
$ ls /usr/sbin/fw*
/usr/sbin/fw_update
or
Code:
$ ls /usr/sbin/fw*
ls: /usr/sbin/fw*: No such file or directory

Well, neither fw_update(1) nor pkg_add(1) are part of your install

Miniroot seems to be a real MINI-boot.

You'll have to include the file sets.

So my best bet is to install using the install62.fs in my usb, and install from there without internet connection, and later add the firmware from within my current install, i will try that now

From the install62.fs in my usb pendrive, i could install the base system okay, so now i can issue the fw_update command, so I've downloaded the missing firmwares it said but when i perform the command to install them, it gives me an error

First i installed with the "install62.fs" from usb.

Then, after first boot i logged in as root and perform fw_update:

Code:
# fw_update -i
Missing: athn-firmware vmm-firmware uvideo-firmware

so i mounted the usb with the downloaded firmwares from other computer to this one and performed the fw_update command with the "-p path" parameter to install the missing firmwares and get the following error for each firmware

Code:
# fw_update -p /mnt/usb/
file: /mnt/usb/vmm-firmware-1.10.2p4.tgz: unsigned package (signify(1) doesn't see old-style signatures)
file: /mnt/usb/uvideo-firmware-1.2p2.tgz: unsigned package (signify(1) doesn't see old-style signatures)
file: /mnt/usb/athn-firmware-1.1p2.tgz: unsigned package (signify(1) doesn't see old-style signatures)
I have this files in my /mnt/usb path

Code:
# ls /mnt/usb
.Trash-1000
SHA256.sig
athn-firmware-1.1p2.tgz
uvideo-firmware-1.2p2.tgz
athn-firmware-1.1p2.tgz

As fw_update(1) is a wrapper for the package tools, they are not in the miniroot (as that would entail also having to include perl and a bunch of other things).
