Bug Description
Alternate Installer via usb flash drive.
The installation proceeded without a problem. Upon initial reboot, computer display stays black with only the arrow showing. The arrow can be moved around. I was able to get to a console to file this bug.
I rebooted via the console and stopped the booting sequence with a TAB, in order to type in the following boot parameter:
Linux video=radeonfb:
The computer booted correctly and everything worked normally.
However, on subsequent reboot, the computer does not remember the boot parameter, and it must be entered manually.
