I did not keep notes when I installed it but /dev/mmcblk0p1 has been
mounted as /boot. Booting from a Pi 2b depends on bootcode.bin, dtb's
and kernel being present on /dev/mmcblk0p1. If I remember correctly I
kept the whole install from a Raspbian sd-card and changed the
apt/sources.list first to ascii updated and after that to beowulf. And I
cloned and builded https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland for the
typical Raspberry Pi userland software.

I could not find the raspi-firmware package you mentioned. After adding
the non-free repo the raspi3-firmware was present which indeed contains
bootcode.bin etc. But apt tries to install this in /boot/firmware which
does not exist on my Pi. So maybe you need to copy the contents of
/usr/lib/raspi3-firmware/ manually to the mounted /boot directory. From
experimenting with booting from NFS I remember that bootcode.bin must be
present in the root of the first partition. Which after booting is
mounted under /boot

Remember this only works for Rpi 2 and higher. In the past I have been
bitten by updating a Pi 1b to Devuan Jessie because of the arm v7
instruction set being used in Devuan/Debian while Pi 1 and Zero are arm
v6 with hard float instructions.

Grt.
