The error message indicates that your boot partition isn't correctly mounted ("Error: missing /boot/firmware, did you forget to mount it?") and the attached Df.txt appears to indicate that /dev/mmcblk0p1 is mounted at /media/midian/boot instead of /boot/firmware.

Could you attach the content of /etc/fstab? It may provide some clue as to why the boot partition is winding up at the wrong mount-point.
