Before modprobe.blacklist=3Dradeon was added to the official installer=E2=
=80=99s
config file, I had to press the F10 key in GRUB and add
modprobe.blacklist=3Dradeon to the end of the linux line.

I presume the installer does not work for you (i.e. the user is blind,
it does not display more than a black screen, even though key presses
are handled correctly).  Does it work for you if you add
modprobe.blacklist=3Damdgpu?

Using Xorg would open its own can of worms.  For example, Xorg does
not work well on Virtualbox on some other operating system.
