Well, I did this, and the CD was created.  But when I boot it and
log in as root, update_firmware doesn't work:

[root at localhost ~]# update_firmware --yes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/update_firmware", line 188 in <module> sys.exit( main() )
  File "/usr/bin/update_firmware", line 67, in main
    firmwaretools.clifuncs.getConfig(ini, configLocations)
NameError: global name 'configLocations' is not defined
