Was some very short message, but was then only the option to log 
in with the root id, and it place one in the /root directory.

In past doing a clean install would give options to install the 
regular partion of /, /boot, /home with ext4 or lvm or the brtfs.

Before retiring in 2017 after 36 years at college, would usually do a 
dnf upgrade install on one system, and a clean install on another 
machine in labs, and compare the differences to see what options 
were in packages. Sometimes a clean install would install some 
new packges that s normal update didn't.  So, would manually add 
some or all of them.

This time, it gave no option other than the brtfs
UUID=e5f816a5-2f9b-4f32-bc08-4435bca1e1ab /                       btrfs   
subvol=root,compress=zstd:1 0 0
UUID=3983df11-d173-46fe-9ffc-5a73fe3521ca /boot                   
ext4    defaults        1 2
UUID=0C1D-A067          /boot/efi               vfat    
umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2
UUID=e5f816a5-2f9b-4f32-bc08-4435bca1e1ab /home                   
btrfs   subvol=home,compress=zstd:1 0 0

While my regular setup has the ext4 for most partitions.

UUID=01d61794-271a-4d17-a901-47afee995382 /boot

UUID=B5B5-43CF          /boot/efi               vfat

UUID=a041e51f-4fcb-48c3-b249-c39c1af03b5e /home
