#!ipxe

set base-url https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/debian-installer/amd64

I would go expanding the 

initrd ${base-url}/initrd.gz
initrd tftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed /tmp/debian_buster_node.seed


into

initrd ${base-url}/initrd.gz
initrd tftp://ipxe01.server.lej.sprd.net/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed /tmp/debian_buster_node.seed
initrd URL://server.subdomain.tld/path/firmware/bnx.fw  /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw



and see what happens.

Please share your results.
