is there some results before black screen?

idk how to do it exactly, but u can decompress os image and search for files which has boot instructions.

I have HP 820 G3 and only GUI mode not working by default. But I made it work by installing regular X.org pkg and additional intel drivers and executing custom shell script at boot time by including it in bootlocal file, there i install each of that pkg, but there is default file with list of needed pkgs at boot if it is fine for you to hold them in opt/.
