Looking at FreeBSD forums, someone with your card put this in
/boot/loader.conf and it worked for him
hw.syscons.disable=1
So run these commands
ee /boot/loader.conf
Then enter somewhere in the file
hw.syscons.disable=1
Then press esc and save
And see if that works. What happens when you do the above it stops some of the output when booting and it looks garbled but allows the OS access to your graphics card
Make sure you have the
drm-fbsd12-kmod package installed also that you have in your
/etc/rc.conf file, in the kld_list line
amdgpu so it should look like this
kld_list="amdgpu linux plusotherstuff"

I have a Radeon card that worked by doing the following
Edit /boot/loader.conf and put in
hw.syscons.disable=1
Put in the kld_list line in rc.conf
amdgpu
Then reboot

I have tried them all, only scfb will start a graphical environment with my amd computer. It is a bit ugly (1024x768) but useable for installing. When I reboot the boot loader looks at all the partitions and says nothing is bootable.

Strange. Your card should be supported

I finally got Ghost installed, and working well, on another computer. I spent well over 2 months on this, and think I will give it a rest until the next current version of FreeBSD comes out - in the autumn from my understanding

Tried to install 2004.1. The video resolution was perfect! Well done. However, I could not install it. When I partitioned the drive (using 200 gigs on a 2 tb nvme drive) no matter how I tried, the "Next" button never became active so I could actually install it. I tried the auto allocation, manual, and all the various zfs/ufs combos. The computer is using UEFI to boot. When I was restarting, I saw:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/gbi/partition.py", line 617
if 'BOOT' in self.prttn(0) and bios_type == 'BIOS';
IndexError: list index out of range
