It can, but you will generally need a "DVD" image (which is actually
limited to 4GB in size) for a usable desktop installation.  *However* I
have re-checked and the netinst images do contain the necessary
firmware packages, not just firmware for network adapters in the
installer itself.

So I think that the amdgpu firmware did get installed, and the driver
is failing for some other reason.

Please send the output of "lspci -vnn" for the system that shows this
problem.
