Well I have a few things perhaps of interest.

I have problems with the firstboot setup and root password.  I am using the
installer script and the --norootpass option.  When I am prompted at the
setup, I ignore the setting of the root password. Fortunately I also did not
set my user password and made my user have admin priv.  Because when I got to
login, it wanted a password for root and I could not figure out what.  In the
past I would just provide 'root' for the login and I was good.  So I logged in
with my user and did a 'sudo passwd root' to set the root password to what I
wanted.
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

The first line, and comment, in /etc/inittab says this file is no longer used and any changes in it will have no effect on your system. All in caps by the way.

Robert -- could you check your system and see, and advise the
list of the results of your examination?

So how is systemd started?
