Sorry for the late reply on this.

The amd option didn't work, but nomodeset allowed me to get to a 
shell,
at which point I could start experimenting with various settings 
to see
if I could get a graphical environment. I finally did by switching 
over
to the proprietary kernel (which points to a graphical driver 
issue with
AMD Navi cards in the libre kernel), but that's obviously less 
than ideal.

Still, it means I can finally start using the system in 
earnest. Thanks
for all your help!
