Garbage pixels on top of screen when installing PVE 8.2 on SuperMicro X10SDV

Trying to install PVE 8.2 on a SuperMicro X10SDV-4C-7TP4F board, I write ISO to USB using Rufus (also tried Balena), boot from USB, see garbage pixels on top of physical VGA monitor screen, and also on remote HTML5 IPMI screen.

Found forum posts that talks about needing to use `nomodeset` on some old VGA cards (this board is circa '21, not really old, just low power, so VGA chipset may be old).

As I can't see anything on the screen, and instructions want me to interact with the installer, which I can't, is there a way to edit the config on the USB installer to set this parameter before I boot the installer?
Not sure if this `nomodeset` is the issue, or any other ideas?
