I have to assume systemd is starting something like:
/bin/bash -i
rather than the former (and familiar) root shell without
login authentication. The same behaviour may be done under
older initscripts
And put this in /etc/inittab if you want the behavior where it
is not prompted:
1:2345:respawn:/bin/bash -i
